Project Summary / Description:

FUNDEMAS promotes, in Barra de Santiago, an ecosystem of sustainability, in coordination with the private and public sectors and the local community (AMBAS). The joint work seeks the restoration and conservation of the environmental ecosystem of Barra de Santiago; promotes a social ecosystem, by empowering women, to be the leaders of the project in the area; helps to valorize natural resources and promotes community leadership; In addition, it promotes an economic ecosystem because it favors the sale of local resources.

How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:

['Removes/stores GHGs (e.g., projects that capture, sequester, or otherwise enhance the "sinks" that accumulate and store GHGs)']

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

The community has played a determining role in this process, by generating awareness through training processes, conservation education, use of tools; which has allowed us to generate love and respect for the ecosystem and the mangrove, which allows us to improve the impact for the benefit of the country and humanity.
Through collaboration with the local women-led association, "Asociación de Mujeres de la Barra de Santiago (AMBAS)," this program is not only contributing to ecological restoration but also generating local employment opportunities. By actively involving women in restoration efforts and providing them with employment opportunities within their communities, this collaboration is empowering women both economically and environmentally. Women are not only gaining valuable skills and income but also playing a significant role in preserving and safeguarding their local environment, thereby fostering a sense of empowerment and ownership within their communities. 60% of the people with whom we work with are women.
