Project Description

The 'Choras Reforestation: Resilience and Life' project, led by Agape Hand and Reforest Trees, aims to restore the landscape and the bond between humanity and nature in San Francisco de Choras, a region devastated by deforestation. By strategically planting thousands of trees across 149 hectares and using a web3 platform based on blockchain, we ensure transparency, traceability, and community participation. This initiative, developed following Open Forest Protocol guidelines, goes beyond reforestation; it revitalizes the soil, recovers water cycles, strengthens biodiversity, and creates green opportunities for local communities. We present this project to the OFP community as an example of how innovation and collaboration can transform devastated lands into symbols of rebirth and hope.

Stakeholders and local communities involved in the project

Stakeholders in the Project Include: Agape Hand and Reforest Trees: • Responsible for planning, executing, monitoring activities, and managing the web3 platform. Local Communities: • Deeply involved in planting, maintaining trees, monitoring progress via web3, and participating in educational programs. • Benefit from green jobs and access to restored natural resources. Investors and Donors: • Provide funding and support. • Access transparent and verifiable information through the web3 platform. Governments and Public Institutions: • Collaborate in obtaining permits and logistical support. • Aim to resolve logistical issues and use the project as a success story for conservation policies. Researchers and Academics: • Use project data for studies on reforestation, biodiversity, and climate change. • Collaborate in improving methodologies and sustainable practices.

Project Goals

Ecological Restoration: • Reforest 149 hectares of degraded land in San Francisco de Choras by planting 178,200 trees. • Revitalize soil, recover water cycles, and strengthen local biodiversity. Innovation and Transparency: • Implement a web3 platform based on blockchain to ensure traceability of each tree planted. • Follow Open Forest Protocol guidelines to provide transparency and trust to stakeholders. Community Empowerment: • Involve local communities in all project stages, creating green jobs and sustainable development opportunities. Climate Change Mitigation: • Capture 35,640 tons of CO₂ over the next 10 years to contribute to global climate goals. Environmental Education and Awareness: • Develop programs to promote conservation and reforestation among local communities and the public.

Co-benefits

Yes, several collateral benefits are expected, including: Improved Air Quality: • Reforestation captures CO₂ and produces oxygen, improving regional air quality. Water Cycle Recovery: • Restoring soil and vegetation helps recover water cycles and improves water availability. Biodiversity Strengthening: • Reforestation creates habitats for native species and restores local biodiversity. Local Economic Development: • Green jobs and sustainable opportunities boost the local economy and reduce migration. Environmental Education: • Training programs promote conservation and sustainability in communities. Climate Change Mitigation: • CO₂ capture supports global mitigation goals, benefiting the planet. Improved Community Well-being: • Restored ecosystems and clean resources enhance local quality of life.
