Los Bancos
Mexico
3,652 ha
Established in 2018, the Ejido Forestal Los Bancos project conserves communally-owned pine-oak forest in Northern Mexico and provides alternative income to the 44 ejidatarios who have traditionally tended the land. The project hopes to sequester 376,166 tons of CO2 within ten years by leaving 30% more residual timber from planned harvests than is required by Mexican law. The project also invests in conservation activities and forest fire prevention infrastructure.
Los Bancos is home to a wide variety of plant and animal species, including the brilliant green macaw (Ara militarist).
