Description
The degradation of vast tropical forests areas owned by rural and indigenous communities as a consequence of unregulated land-use change, the establishment of unlicensed landfills, illegal timber logging, and the colonization by invasive species, are the biggest threats to biodiversity conservation in the yucatan peninsula. This project promotes habitat connectivity along the corridor connecting the calakmul - balam CAX sian KA'an biosphere reserves, through the restoration of existing community forest reserves. The area harbors jaguars, crocodiles, baird's tapirs, white-lipped peccaries and more than 230 species of bird species. Past funding from USFWS has supported a training program on restoration for 400 community leaders and rangers; the restoration of 75 hectares of abandoned paddocks; and the implementation of sustainable forestry and solid waste management practices by the communities. This new two-year grant will: (1) train an additional 492 land-owners from 40 additional communities on hands-on ecological restoration, invasive species removal and solid waste disposal and recycling practices; (2) establish three community-owned nurseries for the production of 75,000 plants; and (3) reduce habitat loss and degradation by working with local communities on the restoration of an additional 422 hectares of degraded tropical rain forests along the ecological corridor.
