As drought and extreme weather conditions increase the risk of forest fires and pest outbreaks, efforts to protect and sustainably manage large tracts of forests have become increasingly difficult and costly.
Recent serious forest fires near Tegucigalpa, Honduras, reinforced the need to have environmental protectors, such as people who collect and sell pine tree resin, whose livelihoods depend on maintaining healthy forests.
The IAF supports community-led solutions to expand economic opportunities such as resin sales that provide productive alternatives to irregular migration.
Our grantee Federacin Hondurea de Cooperativas Agroforestales (FEHCAFOR) will work with four of its member organizations to increase pine resin collection to improve the incomes of rural farmers.
FEHCAFOR will provide support to these local organizations to implement annual forest protection plans and liaise with stakeholders to preserve the integrity of over 200 square miles of pine forest.
This grant is part of the IAF's efforts to address the root causes of irregular migration in Central America.This grant advances the IAF?s strategic initiative to promote sustainable agriculture, strengthen food security efforts, and support viable livelihoods.
