Conservation the natural recourse Of Mezá lagoon
Conservation the natural recourse Of Mezá lagoon
This project will involve three communities of the town of Santa Cruz Muluá in the establishment and management of a lagoon/wetland restoration program and productive organic managed agroforestry systems that will provide means of diminish soil borned pollution and guarantee the water recovery through the lagoons watershed protection. The lagoon?s restoration program includes two components: reforestation of the lagoon?s banks with native tree species and extraction of invasive exotic aquatic plants of the Mezá lagoon. These aquatic plants will be used like organic fertilizer after a composting process. Agroforestry systems will allow income generation in short, medium and long term and will use native vegetables and tree species.
