In November, RIC volunteer Ruth Rosenhek met with leaders of the Corazon de Jesus community. Half of the profits from the eco-tourism centre will go towards managing and protecting the larger reserve and half to the Corazon de Jesus for community development projects (ecological, economical, medical, etc.). | |
| RIC along with partners (Earthways, Ancient Forests International and Rainforest Concern) will assist the Corazon de Jesus community through participatory planning processes to develop project priorities and community plans. |
