Ejido La Selva is a high-integrity community forestry project located in the state of Veracruz, Mexico.
It operates under a comprehensive model that combines Improved Forest Management (IFM) for carbon sequestration with strict sustainable forest management backed by the international standards of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
With technical support from Bioforestal, the ejido actively protects more than 3,200 hectares of forests and rainforests, promoting biodiversity conservation, freshwater regulation and filtration, and climate change mitigation.
Through strong community governance, the ejido ensures that key decisions regarding the sale of carbon credits and the use of funds are approved transparently at general assemblies, maximizing local socioeconomic well-being.
