Interview with María Teresita Chinchilla Miranda, ACOFOP, Guatemala

Community forestry systems for ACOFOP are directly linked to the strengthening of human capital with a sense of ownership, it is about how communities live from the forest, how they identify with nature, their vision of development for the future of their children, the protection of nature and the Mayan cultural vestiges.
