Summary
The pilot project for this aims to onboard 1755 hectares of core forest, protected directly by 138 families from 3 Q'eqchi' communities. There is an additional 1350 hectares of conservation forest dispersed in patches around the core zone which is at economic risk right now. The hypothesis is that we can build a blockchain platform to transparently bootstrap these people with the funding, skills, and connections to create and expand these buffer zones.
