  • Project description
    EcoFormation has decided to reforest a depleted area and to create a Training and Sustainable Development Centre where local youths will benefit from the following: - Awareness-building programs for natural protection and preservation of the ecosystem’s balance; - Professional Training (nursery gardeners, foresters, farmers, woodcutters, woodworkers); - On-site employment to implement specific campaigns aimed at reforesting, replanting endemic tree species and to re-establish primeval forests. - Involvement in forest maintenance and management activities; - Training designed to create and maintain nurseries and to develop food crops on forestlands (agroforestry). In addition to the reforestation activities to be registered under the VCS standard, the project proponents will implement activities dedicated to agroforestry with food crops (rice, pineapples, onions, etc.) and improved agricultural practices.
