“With the implementation of this project we seek to protect the soil from erosion, prevent landslides and flash floods. We also promote the recovery of nutrients from hydrographic basins. We are implementing a purely rural reforestation that consists of carrying out a massive planting of trees on surfaces that have been deforested, in this way we aim at the rehabilitation of these ecosystems”.

Likewise, indicated that the works are carried out jointly with the Mega Ambiental consortium, and that the project contributes to the restoration of properties that have been affected by forest fires and indiscriminate human intervention, in the basins and micro-basins of the Jerez rivers, Reeds, Width, Maluisa, Saint Clare, broken Andrea, sand creek, The Trojas, Lizard and Mariamine.

The species used in the reforestation activities are native to the tropical dry forest, among them snail, mahogany, ceiba, Oak, fine heart, puy, carob, earmuff, cedar and guaimaro.
Finally, The environmental authority indicated that within the framework of these works, environmental awareness workshops have been carried out in the beneficiary communities and the project's area of ​​influence..
