Restoring Forests for the People of Chocó

Workshops

The theoretical aspects of Analog Forestry are reviewed and practical exercises are carried out in the field. Analogue Forestry involves local communities in the restoration of ecosystems, creating food security as well as economic benefits for their families. It seeks to: -Restore degraded ecosystems -Recover and increase biodiversity -Foster nutritional security and independence for local communities -Provide support and build organisational capacity.

Implementing Analogue Forestry

The design of the Analogue Forest must contemplate the state of the soil, the position of the sun, the inclination of the terrain, the direction of the prevailing winds, the community’s needs and the marketing possibilities of the products to be obtained.

Mapping

This exercise consists of drawing plots of the terrain in order to illustrate the main elements that exist within it.

Designing the parcels

A plot indicating the physical distribution of species in each parcel must be drawn and a timetable specifying which species are to be planted in what stage of the project must be determined.
