The project will be implemented in coastal watersheds in Chiapas, Jalisco, and Veracruz, as well as in pilot watersheds in Guerrero, Nayarit, and Oaxaca. Restoration efforts will focus on degraded areas and on strengthening the value chains of native Mexican species, such as vanilla and cacao, while also promoting agroforestry and silvopastoral systems. High priority will be given to field actions that are expected to deliver long-term environmental, economic, and social benefits.
Additionally, the project aims to scale up lessons learned and complement existing interventions led by key organizations and agencies such as the National Commission of Natural Protected Areas (Conanp, acronym in Spanish) and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (Sader, acronym in Spanish), as well as the governments of Chiapas, Jalisco, and Veracruz. The project will build upon the lessons learned from the
C6,
CONECTA and
RÍOS projects.
