Reforestation with Piriatí-Embera Community
– Partner: Small Grants Program, UN

A group of young environmental enthusiasts of the Piriatí-Embera community started a project to regain their cultural legacy, the coexistence with the forest. We collaborated with them, providing training, reforestation works, and building their own tree-nursery.
Example of executed projects

Example of executed projects
PeliBüey Program
– Partner: DEG.
– Country: Nicaragua
The Pelibüey sheep has hair instead of wool, and is thus perfectly adapted to tropical weather. This project involves several communities to whom we distributed a seed stock of 120 sheep in order to improve their diet, and generate income from the sale of surpluses. 12 collectives were created with 4 families in each one.
Example of ongoing projects
COMMUNITY APICULTURE Project
– Partner: DEG/ICCO.
– Country: Nicaragua.
We structured a honey production project as a social business. Rural women are empowered to be active economic agents, and decision makers, generating a source of secure and growing income. Today this project is being restructured thanks to our partners from CEN (Centro del Entendimiento con la Naturaleza).
Example of executed projects
environmental education
– Country: Nicaragua.
– Partners: DEG, MED, UNAN-Leon.
Final year agroforestry students teach young people, children, and teachers techniques for the establishment, management and planting of forest, fruit and vegetable seedlings. This contributes to the improvement of Nicaragua’s dry forest, and improves food of schools and communities integrated in the program. Additionally, environmental awareness is created in the participants and their families.
Example of executed projects

– Partner: MiAmbiente (Panamanian Ministry of Environment).

Together with 82 families of the local Ngäbe indigenous community, we reforested 120 Ha of deforested land, with a focus on safeguarding future water supply.
