Fundación Comunitaria Puca

Fundación Comunitaria Puca is a non-profit organization based in Lepaera, Honduras, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since August 29, 2017, with a registration valid through February 20, 2026. The organization specializes in environmental conservation, sustainable development, and community-based natural resource management, primarily focusing on initiatives in western Honduras. While specific details about its organizational history are limited, the entity has established itself as a key participant in federal grant programs targeting conservation, forestry, and community development efforts.

The organization has secured multiple cooperative agreements from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, specifically within the International Forestry Programs (CFDA 10.684). These federal grant awards, totaling at least $140,000, demonstrate Fundación Comunitaria Puca's expertise in conservation and sustainable resource management. Notable projects include promoting beekeeping activities in the buffer zone of the Puca Wildlife Refuge, implementing natural resources conservation strategies, and advancing apiculture and conservation efforts in western Honduras. The grants, ranging from August 2022 to November 2029, focus on improving forest policies, supporting forest-dependent communities, and enhancing local livelihoods through targeted environmental and economic interventions. Each cooperative agreement reflects a strategic approach to conservation that integrates ecological preservation with community economic development, positioning Fundación Comunitaria Puca as a specialized partner in international environmental sustainability initiatives.
