Analog forestry in Santo Domingo, Peru

Active

CEARE is a non-profit Organization focused on forest conservation and rural development in the central Amazon of Peru. CEARE is helping Yanesha Indigenous communities to restore their forests through implementing Analog Forestry. Analog forestry is a low-cost and small-scale technique that focuses on increasing biodiversity and productivity by imitating natural forests. In combination with the communities’ traditional knowledge, the project aims (1) rise awareness about climate change, forest conservation, and EESS, (2) give some basic concepts about landscape restoration and Analog forestry, and (3) install pilot plots with economically and environmentally important species for the communities.
