Maya Agroforestry
Discover real people in real places and what they are
doing to stop slash and burn agriculture through productive
and eco-logical practices. Many of our tours will take you
to meet the Itza people, on Lake Peten Itza, in Peten, Guatemala.
There you may learn:
- about seeds and how to collect them...
- about combining different plants in the same plot as
a standard pest control practice, that is both natural
and cost effective...
- about the Maya forest and the wonders of its plants
and secrets...
From this rich learning experience
you take home with you many other benefits are being
derived: |
We don't support illegal logging, we support alternatives...
|
- empowering indigenous people to share their expertise
and ancient knowledge...
- empowering them to take control over their land and
reclaiming a past that may help us all in our understanding
of the natural world and the great possibilities for our
future by working together with and not against nature...
- allowing ecotourism to become a powerful ally for indigenous
people’s economy and the conservation of their own
protected areas and the national parks and sanctuaries
around them...
