Restoring degraded pasturelands through reforestation and establishing sustainable cocoa production systems based on the principles of natural succession and agroforestry in Patuca National Park.
In the Patuca National Park, Naturefund-Germany together with the “Asociación Patuca” is creating tree nurseries and reforestation projects with local communities. On behalf of Naturefund ECOTOP advises farmer groups in improving their young cocoa plantations and in reforestation techniques in depleted pasture land.
A group of technicians and farmers from PATUCA participated at the 14th international agroforestry course organized by ECOTOP in 2012 in Bolivia.
