Better Alliances Better Forests

Better  Alliances, Better Forests (Mejores  Alianzas, Mejores Bosques, MAMB) is a Platform for Collaboration that since 2011 has been coordinating the decision-making process through strategic alliances  that  contribute to  the Integrated  Management of  the  Landscape as  well  as to  the Connectivity of the Ecosystems. With  this  platform,  we  conserve  and  restore  the  forests  that  provide  ecosystem  services  to  the  big cities and we connect and empower ejidos and communities through alliances with the three levels of government, Universities and the Organized Civil Society, generating actions that contribute to the Integrated Management of the Landscape and to connectivity. Over the course of eight years, we have implemented processes in 18 states in the country and we are currently undertaking conservation actions in 25 forests with a total of 11,255.05 hectares with 35 forest brigades. In  the  same  way,  we  have  strengthened  alliances  with  34  ejidos  and  communities,  with  the  three  levels of government, with  90 companies  and  3 universities.  We  also strengthened  and collaborated  with productive community projects:  a network of organic honey ptroducers (18 producers,  APFF Bala’an K’aax), 11 honey producers, 9 Ramon (“Brosimum alicastrum”) producers, 4 charcoal entrepreneurs, 5 producers of Chaya derivates, 3 ecotourism groups in the west of the country, 3 forest greenhouses and 4 groups of craftswomen from Ocochal. 

Regarding the donations received through GlobalGiving, we will be carrying out the corresponding tree plantings starting in May 2022, when the time in which the trees must be planted begins.  

Each tree cost 150 mexican pesos, and includes caring for 3 years to ensure their survival and includes conservation actions and strengthening of local people who lives and maintain the forests where we carry out the reforestations.
