    The project activity is recuperation of degraded lands, which includes commercial reforestation, agroforestry, enrichment and assisted natural regeneration. Through reforestation activities to recover degraded land, the project aims to improve soil conditions in the project area and re-establish ecosystem connectivity. Both projects aim to recover land degraded by extensive cattle raising through establishing an agroforestry system with Cariniana pyriformis and Theobroma cacao, both of which will have commercial value
