The project aims to help farmers and herders in the region move towards a silvopastoral system – a sustainable form of agriculture that combines forestry and pastoral objectives. Planting 117,000 trees will enable local livestock farmers to carry out an income-generating activity that is more respectful of the environment and protects the neighbouring Selva El Ocote reserve.
95% of the donations received will be put into the project and the remaining 5% used to cover the running costs of A Tree For You
