Establishment of agro-forestry systems for the conservation and recovery of local biodiversity in Comitancillo, San Marcos.
Through the use of agro-forestry systems, this project will rescue three species of endangered trees, with particular emphasis on the Guatemalan fir (Abies guatemalensis) an endemic species. Additionally, the agro-forestry systems will be managed under organic farming methods that will contribute to diminish agrochemical pollution on the basin head of the river Suchiate, borderline between Mexico and Guatemala.
With this project the participants will have better soils, extra incoming and seeds.
