“Forest restoration of degraded areas in the Vicente Guerrero ejido, Villa Corzo, Chiapas”.
As part of the strategies proposed in the project “Forest restoration, establishment and maintenance of agroforestry systems in communities of the Sierra Madre of Chiapas”, a collaboration between AMBIO Cooperative and Conservation International Mexico, various activities have been carried out in the ejido Nuevo Vicente Guerrero, municipality of Villa Corzo, Chiapas.
In coordination with the AMBIO technical team and the forestry brigade of the Nuevo Vicente Guerrero ejido, a reforestation practice was carried out in September, beginning with the planting of pine (Pinus oocarpa) and the application of a hydrating gel (also called solid rain), this as part of a strategy to counteract the adverse effects of desiccation in the dry season.
De manera complementaria, se construyeron 40 “ollas de agua” como un medio para la captación de agua de lluvia y su posterior utilización de la misma en la temporada seca, a manera de riego de auxilio, esto permitirá la rehidratación del gel absorbente previamente aplicado en las zonas reforestadas y mantener una mayor humedad en el suelo por más tiempo que de forma natural en áreas de interés para el ejido.
Ith these strategies, we seek to be more effectively guarantee the survival of the little trees planted to achieve the project's reforestation objectives.
