To establish profitable vegetal resources under natural rainforest shade and promote the forest recovery on areas that need it with native tree species to diminish human pressure over natural forest cover.
This project will provide an option for using the natural forest shade to produce organic managed coffee and pacaína (Chamaedorea costarricensis) both crops with previously established markets.
Additionally, it will promote the planting of fast growing native species of trees to increase the forest cover, trying through both activities to diminish human pressure on one of the most biodiversity rich regions of Guatemala.
