How can we strengthen our watersheds?

Show notes

In this compelling episode, we dive into the importance of healthy watersheds and explore the transformative potential of restoration and EbA (Ecosystem-based Adaptation) measures. Join us as we discuss the efforts of the GreenWatersheds project with Juan Carlos Funes of Defensores de la Naturaleza and Lilian Pérez of the artisanal women’s group Artesanas de Chilascó in Guatemala, where relevant measures are implemented together with the local population. Tune in now to learn how we can collaborate with nature to secure a sustainable future for our precious water resources.

GreenWatersheds is financed by the German government’s International Climate Initiative (IKI) and implemented by Oroverde with partners in Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, and Mexico.
