7. Punta Gorda Yoro & Santa Barbara Kukra Hill & Kukra River Cocle & Panama Oeste SHI currently works in four countries: Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua & Panama.
SHI encourages all participants to include as many trees as possible in their land-use plans. Families like this Mayan family in Belize learn to grow their own seedlings for transplanting onto their farms.
Manure from the chickens and other animals is used for compost or fed through a biogas digester that uses anaerobic decomposition to create methane gas. The effluent from the biogas digester is also a powerful liquid, organic fertilizer.
