Commitment by: Marta Romero
Focus Area: Environment

Geographic
Scope: El Salvador
Project Description
“Planting Trees Makes My
Cantón Feliz” will reduce the deforestation in Cantón La Isla, El Salvador by
creating environmental awareness and increasing tree canopy cover. The
population of Cantón La Isla is about 125 families, and most of them are
farmers, meaning they cut down trees to have a clear area to plant their crops
such as corns, beans, watermelons and vegetables. “Planting Trees Makes My
Cantón Feliz” will impact Canton La Isla through implementing techniques such
as monitoring tree survival, replanting, increasing trees canopy cover from 2%
to 10% over time, while explaining to people why reforestation is crucial.
