Improved Forest Management project with communities in Mexico
Developed by Montezumae Global Consultores, a Mexican civil society organization whose purpose is to develop quality forestry carbon projects, Mariposa implements improved forest management practices across 16,000 hectares of community-owned lands in the Sierra Madre Occidental. Located in northern Mexico, this project aims at improving forest management through fire management, reforestation, and soil improvement practices. The project builds local capacity and strenghtens sustainable timber value chains with additional certifications on sustainable forestry activities. Held on community lands, it will enhance the livelihoods of the three involved communities thanks to capacity building in forestry management practices, support of productive systems, and implementation of timber transformation infrastructures.The purpose is to retain economic benefits locally while preserving one of Mexico's most biodiverse mountain ranges.
