The Analog Forestry Initiative focuses on protection of watersheds, revegetation of the riversides, and adaptation activities such as crop diversification with emphasis on permanent crops. In the forest realm, the project designs Analog Forests using a diversity of species (especially those with broader geographical ranges) capable of supplying the environmental needs of the community in the event of climatic changes. It also establishes tree nurseries as spaces for researching the adaptation of species. In addition, the project targets mitigation of climate change by reducing deforestation in the community, reducing the pressure over the forest remnants, recovering degraded areas in farms, and increasing the vegetation cover in the community’s landscape.
