This project, a collaboration between TCCC and TNC, conserved 363.47 ha of secondary forest, restored 27.5 ha of forest, implemented agroforestry practices on 12 ha, and reforested an additional 3.32 ha in the Panama Canal watershed. The ecosystem of the watershed is a tropical rainforest that is threatened by traditional agricultural practices including slash and burn methods. Moreover, selective cutting of trees 30 years ago diminished native species in the region. The forest within the project area has no physical restrictions, allowing access by both local residents and cattle. It is common for members of the community to extract wood from the forests for domestic use. Intensive extraction of wood for fuel and associated ecosystem degradation is likely if the forests are not protected. Without protection, the forests in the project area are also likely to be cleared and replaced by agriculture. The project activities consisted of four parts: Forest conservation: This activity protects the existing secondary forest by implementing conservation agreements with the landowners and installing physical barriers to avoid illegal wood extraction. Thirteen properties are included. Barbed wire fences have been installed, signposting, boundary demarcation, and maintenance. Active restoration (silvopasture): Restored 27.5 ha. Silvopasture is the practice of combining forestry and grazing activities in a mutually beneficial way. These lands have been used as continuous forage for cattle and are degraded with low production capabilities. Restoration will improve forage quality and encourage more ecologically stable systems. These systems are expected to integrate forage production, livestock grazing, and healthy grassland on the land management unit, which will promote better hydrologic conditions. Agroforestry: Implemented on 12 acres to improve the hydrological condition of the project area by incorporating native vegetation in coffee plantations. Reforestation: On 3.32 acres.
