Community Defense of Forest Carbon
Training and operation of a community brigade specializing in forest fire prevention and control.
Expected impact: Mitigation of emissions from fires, creation of local jobs, and strengthening of capacities in land management.
Participatory Monitoring for Living Forests
Implementation of a community-based system for monitoring biodiversity and forest health using accessible technologies.
Expected impact: Environmental traceability, community empowerment, and strengthening ESG reporting.
Local Forestry Economy with Shared Value
Community factory for processing wood under sustainable forest management criteria.
Expected impact: Generation of decent jobs, local value chains, and reduction of pressure on the forest.
Territorial Restoration with Native Species
Reforestation campaigns with species adapted to the local ecosystem, involving young people and women.
Expected impact: Carbon capture, soil restoration and biodiversity, social cohesion.
