These four projects, organized by Trees, Water & People, are attempting to protect and restore the forests of Central America. Trees, Water & People is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping communities develop sustainable forests and watersheds. They believe that local people should play an integral part in the use and care of local natural resources and that one of the best ways to ensure the long-term economic and social viability of communities is by protecting local trees, forests and wetlands, and the web of life they sustain.
Trees, Water & People's programs are specifically aimed at finding the balance between the needs of the environment and the needs of people in the 21st century. Trees, Water & People work domestically and internationally on tree planting, watershed protection, community outreach and sustainable land management projects. Current international programs include tree planting and forest protection programs in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador, as well as a tree seed nursery operation in Guatemala.
