Restoration and reforestation of fragmented forests with native tree species and the creation of local conservation areas in the municipality of Zinacantán, Chiapas

This project works towards the establishment of an integrated agro-ecological center with agroforestry and permaculture system for the rescue of native trees in the municipality of Chanal, hiapas.
It aims to establish a center where people will be trained through workshops, work tables, documentation and other dynamics in order to clearly interpret what is happening to Mother Earth and to raise awareness among the inhabitants of the municipality. The next step on the agenda of this project is to collect native timber seeds that are facing extinction, and use the opportunity to train the local community in the process of growing seedlings of forest nurseries. The project is implemented through the local civil society organization called “Change Agents” which creates a space, which enables the implementers in the Chiapas to perform environmental management in their community by employing conservation methodologies.
