The future of farming families and the planet is in the trees
Dear Donors,
We are very grateful for your continued support to the farming families, who are the protagonists of their own future.
The families continue to practice what they have learned during the years of direct impact of the Pachamama Raymi methodology; the future of their family and the planet is in the trees.
In March, we expanded the scope of the Carbon Credits Pre-Feasibility Study.
The communities have been very receptive during the geo-referencing field activity, and see this project as a great opportunity.
The farming communities have invited us to participate in their community assemblies to learn more about this project and to let us know their vision for the future and their needs.

We have also given them information on how to register their plantations with the National Forestry Service (SERFOR), a government entity that accredits them with legal ownership of their timber, mushroom products, resins, carbon credits, among others.

Likewise, we invite the peasant communities to carry out the procedures regarding the ownership of their land, an indispensable requirement for accrediting ownership of this type of project.
It was identified that the public data available is up to date until 2014, presenting differences with the data presented during the georeferencing.
With this work we have expanded the possibilities for farming families to be the protagonists of their future.
