Forest Protection

The REDD+ PAZcifico project is a community-driven initiative involving councils in Unicosta, Prodefensa del Río Tapaje, Guapi Abajo, and Cuenca del Río Iscuande. Through participatory and autonomous approaches, it enhances natural, social, and cultural capital by conserving and protecting the local forest. This not only aids in achieving national emission reduction targets but also uplifts subsistence practices, promoting environmental sustainability, reducing deforestation, and enabling community forest management. The project extends positive effects on biodiversity and socioeconomic aspects by fostering connectivity, resource flow, and innovative production alternatives aligned with conservation and mangrove protection. The project falls under the REDD+ category, focusing on forest preservation, sustainable management, and emission reduction.
