Re:Wild

The Moskitia Is the Second Largest Forest of Central America and Protects Some of the Last Viable Populations of Baird's Tapirs, Jaguars, White-lipped Peccaries, and Great Green Macaws. It Is the Region's Most Threatened Large Forest With the Highest Deforestation Rates Driven by Invasions Into Indigenous Lands by Illegal Cattle Ranchers. This Project Supports Conservation of 130,700 Hectares of Titled Indigenous Territory That Are Critical for Wildlife, Including Part of the Rio Platano Biosphere Reserve, by Supporting Indigenous Control and Protection Activities Requested by the Miskitu. Specific Activities Include: (1) Training of Indigenous Rangers to Collect Data in Smart (spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool); (2) Monthly Field Missions to Detect Illegal Activities and Establish a Baseline of Encroachment; (3) Convening Assemblies With Communal and Territorial Councils to Effectively Integrate Ranger Data Into Management Decisions; (4) Workshops Between Rangers, Communal Councils and the Honduran Forest Agency (ICF) to Support Inter-institutional Cooperation and Governmental Response to Threats; and (5) Building Emblematic Legal Cases Against Environmental Criminals Identified by Indigenous Field Missions.
