Project description
This project involves the regeneration of natural forests with high conservation values. In exchange for environmental service payments, the owners of these forests commit to forest fire prevention and the cessation of livestock grazing in forests, logging and timber extraction, hunting and extraction of flora. These changes will result in the regeneration of forests and therefore the capture of more carbon dioxide.
