Natural resources protection of the Sesacapa lagoon and ecologic vegetable production on adjacent sectors of Caserío El Triunfo, Suchitepéquez
Project will involve women from three coastal communities in the establishment and management of the lagoon/wetland restoration program and productive organic managed agroforestry systems. The lagoon?s restoration program includes two components: reforestation of degraded areas of its shore with native tree species and provision of in-house potable water and drainage to avoid its pollution due to domestic water use (this last component to be funded by a governmental social fund). Agroforestry systems will allow income generation at short, medium and long term and will use native vegetables and tree species.
