Last Friday July 17th, we started the construction of a cocoa nursery (45.000 cocoa plants) in Cumaral (Vichada, Colombia), as part of our “Activity 6: Productivity Projects” in order to guarantee food security and create better and new economic & business opportunities for RIU-SM indigenous families.
Our Mataven REDD+ Project is a participatory process, we work hand in hand with RIU-SM indigenous communities to tackle climate change, stop deforestation, protect their tropical forests & reduce CO2 global emissions – while safeguarding their rich biodiversity and improving their well-being.
