Guatemala, naturally, is a forest country
with a historical problem of access to land
The forest policies and programs in Guatemala
should take into account the basic needs of people
With people who do not have anything to eat
because the only thing they know is subsistence agriculture
The people who can no longer be invisible
are the indigenous people
We are learning our ancestors' customs
and the customs are to grow and conserve
In Guatemala, we are still talking about the fact that
community forest that has no recognition
We have already started productive projects
and social development projects as well
we are organised as a small enterprise
from the seed, to the cup of coffee
when we harvest macadamia, we let them fall from the tree
we get the shell and we use it as organic fertiliser
Now that we have experience, we work better.
Where people don't reforest, we cover it.
different types of plants, like coniferous, broad leaf, ornamental.
Men who criticized us before, now they asking us for work.
I encourage other women
because we have to keep on working.
Here, there are jobs for women now, we dont have to suffer anymore.
Sustainable management of forests is the method
that we are using here under the areas we manage
we guaranty the existence of the forest cover
We don't just take care of forests, if we take care of the forest
we have better water.
we have better land, and with better land, we have better production.
The only forest that are completely intact, are the ones
that the state has given to the communities
then people who get benefits from the forest, are saying:
"We defend the forest, and nothing will happen to it"
About traditional systems,
if we don't integrate the occidental technical approach
it's going to be impossible for one to make it without the other
Therefore, it's recognised and we are developing new plans
for the strengthening of governmental institutions
and we are looking for financial mechanisms
What we have protected is for the benefit of the world
Because, neither a community, or a municipality
or the private sector, or NGO
won't be able to conserve if they are no financial mechanisms
We are forming the national alliance of community forestry
The programs, the projects of the alliance
have to start from the bottom to the top
In this case, it's not a secret that being organised is essential
Therefore, allied we have force, united
we develop projects because we have a unified national vision
