La Libertad

Project Description

La Libertad is a community-run Improved Forest Management project in Perote, Veracruz, Mexico that enhances carbon sequestration of 343.59 hectares of native pine forest through sustainable forest management practices. Launched in May 2019 with a 30-year commitment, this project combines sustainable timber harvesting with robust forest protection measures. The project trains local community members and creates infrastructure to combat forest fires and prevent illegal logging. This balanced approach provides the local community with income from responsibly harvested wood products while supporting native biodiversity and maximizing the forest's carbon storage capacity.

Risk of Potential Reversals

Nature-based projects like this one face some risk of reversal. During the life of the project, carbon storage may be affected by flood, fire, or logging. After the project’s end date, land use changes may also reduce carbon storage.
