Conservation
Principles:
1.The natural coarse of forest development is the best option to safeguard the
restoration of all natural forest types within the project boundairies.
2.Enrichment planting is seen, by RGI, as some sort of intervention, disrupting the
natural forest ecology and its own coarse to complete repair.
3.All forest types within the project boundairies are secondairy and should be classified
as disturbed or heavily disturbed.

1.The protected areas of the project have been subject to logging since the early sixties and have often not stopped until the moment the property was included into the project
area.
2. Natural regeneration is often quick with species like Vochia Guatamalensis,
Ochroma lagopus, Virola koschnyi, Botarama, Cristobal and Cedrela odorata.

Therefor, RGI prefers to let nature itself take care of the regeneration of the forest within its preset boundairies.
