beneficiaries assisted in 2023
through the Environmental Program
“Guatemala has 3,722,595 hectares of land covered by forest, which represents 34.2% of the national territory. For the entire population forests are important because they are suppliers of goods such as wood, firewood, brushwood and other non-timber products. In addition, forests contribute to hydrological regulation, scenic beauty and, above all, lessen climatic impacts among other ecosystem services.”
