Central America is the tropical region most severely affected by climate change worldwide. Soil degradation, forest loss and monocultures make it even more vulnerable to climate change. Regional efforts to harmonise climate protection activities and biodiversity goals have so far been unsuccessful. The project will create carbon sinks through forest landscape restoration (FLR) and establish these across the entire region. FLR is seen here as an approach that treats the entire landscape as a whole.

The project aims to reduce significantly the current levels of poverty and extreme poverty of 6,600 households in 66 municipalities of the Central and Paracentral region through participative, community-driven, micro-watershed-centred, social and economic processes, following a deliberate action strategy of gender and intercultural equity, environmental sustainability and organisational and institutional strengthening.
