EcoLogic hosts PES Workshop

EcoLogic recently hosted a regional workshop in La Ceiba, Honduras on “Compensation and Payment for Environmental Services (PES) for Communities in Central America.”  From August 9-13, more than 60 community leaders from 32 non-governmental organizations and 9 countries gathered to share their knowledge and discuss their experiences with PES projects in Central America and Mexico. The workshop provided practical, hands-on training for community leaders and technical staff of regional organizations that are currently focused on local level conservation projects.

EcoLogic works with poor, rural communities to help them become better environmental stewards in order to save their forests and water and improve their living conditions. We put local people in charge of projects, providing them with the tools they need to sustainably manage their natural resources.
