We protect biodiversity and the balance of the ecosystem

Within the activities of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation and Wetland Conservation, we carry out concrete actions for monitoring and controlling biodiversity and climate.

Among these, we prioritize three umbrella species (neotropical otter, Caribbean manatee, and American crocodile) as indicators of the conservation of fauna associated with mangroves. Communities actively participate in monitoring processes alongside CVS and Fundación Omacha; thanks to this joint work, we have achieved significant results.

The rehabilitation of channels is another of our tasks to recover the ecological dynamics of mangroves in areas degraded by natural or anthropogenic agents as a climate change adaptation measure. These actions are carried out with the participation of local communities through cleaning, canal maintenance, and propagation of plant material.

With the support of CVS and Invemar, we also conduct annual monitoring of mangrove structure and composition. Additionally, we track coastal erosion, water quality, and carbon capture, in accordance with the program’s certification standards.
