At Mamoní Valley Preserve, we are committed to fostering sustainable community development by integrating and supporting the Valley’s communities.

Through initiatives aimed at providing education and sustainable income opportunities, we empower residents to thrive while preserving the natural environment.

• The Guardaterritorios program empowers residents as Guardians, strengthening their connection to the land and equipping them with conservation knowledge and tools through continuous training. This community-driven approach fosters stewardship and pride among the Guardians, who actively protect their home while also being provided with employment opportunities. This leads to increased economic opportunities, heightened environmental awareness, and a shared commitment to preserving natural heritage.

• At the Agroforestry Center, our team focuses on drying and caring for bamboo plants in a specific area, incorporating them into a value chain process.
  This not only helps residents develop skills but also supports sustainable agriculture and enhances community self-sufficiency. Additionally, by providing wood for a community center, the Agroforestry Center fosters group activities among local residents.
