Dear GlobalGiving Supporters,

I hope you’re doing well! We’ve been busy over the last few months supporting our local partners in Guatemala to protect and conserve forests. I’m excited to share these updates with you:

  • In our work in Totonicapán, Guatemala, our local partner recently launched the 2022 reforestation campaign, where community volunteers and associations lead the way in planting 115,000 trees grown in the greenhouses of the 48 Cantones’ over the last year.
  • In our work in Ixcán, Guatemala, we are currently working with 25 farmers to help them reduce slash-and-burn agriculture by establishing diversified agroforestry parcels over 40 hectares including Inga edulis, cardamom, and mahogany. In addition, we are supporting the farmers to develop management plans that will allow them to receive incentive payments from the PROBOSQUE program.
  • On World Rainforest Day, EcoLogic collaborated with Creative Action Institute to host a discussion on the use of art and creative approaches in conservation. The presentation –  Leveraging Art to Advocate for Forests – highlighted three of Creative Action Institute’s partners and how they have implemented creative workshops, projects, and initiatives to foster a new culture and awareness around sustainability and forest protection.

With help from people like you, EcoLogic can continue growing its mission and serving local communities to conserve and restore forests in ways that support and improve local livelihoods. 

On behalf of all of us at EcoLogic, thank you again for your generous support of our organization. Your support makes our work possible.  

In solidarity,

Mario Ardany de Leon

EcoLogic Program Officer, Guatemala
