Community Reforestation in Southern Belize
Organization information
Ya'axche Conservation Trust
Location: Punta Gorda, Belize
Summary
Through this project, Ya'axche will target seven rural and remote villages of southern Belize through hands-on community education and reforestation of shade and native fruit trees around schools, community areas and homes. Not only will communities become more resilient to climate change due to the ecosystem services trees provide, but nutrition can be improved and livelihoods diversified through the fruit and value-added products from such trees.
