Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

We work mainly in low development areas, close to conservation areas and national parks. We provide good employment conditions, empower small farmers, and stimulate local economy. By working on these areas, we help lower environmental pressure on adjacent natural forests and conservations areas. Through a Cooperative formed with our sponsorship we will provide financing, technical assistance, and social programs for these communities. The communities and areas, have migrant populations, women lead households and are lacking employment opportunities, also many small landowners with subsistence farming as their main income generator. Through our model they may reforest marginal areas in their land, and we will also impact micro-deforestation as now they will have an option that generates income without cutting the tree. Most of the labors required by a plantation can be handled by women.
