The end of the year is approaching and the rain is coming; an ideal time to raise awareness of the reserve’s conservation and its usefulness in providing resources essential to their well-being.
This month, several activities were proposed to the 4 communities bordering the Concession: discovery of economic alternatives to conservation, debate around the preservation of forest resources, environmental animation for children and visits of plots for farmers aiming at valorizing the available resources. A varied program that reached about 70 adults and 50 children and that allowed the planting of 430 endangered trees, in schools or in the plots of interested producers: quinilla colorada (Manilkara bidentata), cedro (Cedrela odorata) and cumala colorada (Virola sebifera).
Steffanny (forestry engineer) spent a month with them and will return next year to continue the work in a sustainable way.
