Challenge

There is significant pressure on the forests of Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico from deforestation caused by illegal loggers, forest fires, and the advance of the agricultural frontier.

Solution

EcoLogic tackles forest loss by placing restoration and conservation in the hands of local communities. Working with Indigenous and municipal authorities such as the 48 Cantones of Totonicapan in Guatemala and MAMUCA in Honduras, EcoLogic provides tools, native seeds, and hands-on training to restore forests and strengthen community-led monitoring. This approach builds lasting local capacity to protect forests well beyond the life of the project.

Long-Term Impact

EcoLogic envisions thriving forests and empowered communities in Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico. By supporting local community stewardship over their natural resources and promoting sustainable practices, our efforts pave the way for improved living conditions, preserved biodiversity, and secure water sources. With a legacy spanning over 30 years and impacting over 700 communities, EcoLogic continues to empower Latin American communities for a resilient and sustainable future.
