These are not three separate goals but are intertwined in a holistic system. As such, the project is a model of [[regenerative design]]. As such, it's not a mere concept but, rather, an active, visible, measurable practice on the ground. Thus it can not only scale but be iterated in diverse situations.

Major players in pine resin can raise necessary ''pesos'' for investment in maintaining the trees, but would want a high interest rate in exchange.

EjidoVerde.jpg
Ejido Verde is a mass-reforestation project structured as a private-public-Native initiative, an innovative form of social enterprise and community forestry that will benefit the most marginalized rural families, sustainably alleviate poverty, and improve the environment—in addition to providing a key raw material for an established industry.

.:.

Ejido verde es una iniciativa de reforestación masiva que, desarrollado a través de nuestro modelo, crea fuentes sostenibles de trabajo para las comunidades más marginadas de México e impulsa una de las industrias más vulnerables del país, la resinera.

El proyecto está estructurado de tal manera que reúne al sector privado, al público y a distintas comunidades indígenas de México. Es un innovador modelo que combina emprendimiento social, la reforestación del medio ambiente y la integración y conservación del patrimonio nacional.

El propósito del proyecto es trabajar de manera conjunta con las comunidades locales para un mejor manejo de la tierra, impulsar la protección del medio ambiente e incentivar la economía local para que más familias obtengan una fuente de ingresos digna y sustentable para las futuras generaciones.


Background

Definition

Ejido: Communal land on the outskirts of a town, destined for common services, such as a cattle pasture. System of distribution and possession of land institutionalized after the Mexican Revolution, granting land for use by a group of people.

Verde: Green.

Project goals

Ejido Verdi's goals keep to a triple bottom-line:

  • Viable ROI (return on investment) [ profit ]
  • Community wealth & well-being for marginalized rural and indigenous communities [ people ]
  • Carbon offsets to reverse global warming through tree planting [ planet ]

[ Please Note: These are not three separate goals but are intertwined aspects of a holistic system. ]

Current goals include:

  1. Increasing tree population, from 85 pines/ha (hectare) to 850
  2. Expanding land use by 2000 acres/year
  3. Raising day-labor wages to five times the current rate

Design

The project is a model of regenerative design. As such, it's not a mere concept but, rather, an active, visible, measurable practice on the ground. Thus it can not only scale but be iterated in diverse situations.

Funding

The economic value of non-wood forest projects require a longer than average ROI (return on investment) time scale. It takes pine trees about 10 years to produce a viable amount of resin. Yet pine resin (aka "pitch") has a myriad of commercial uses, including:
  • medicine
  • fragrances; incense
  • glue; adhesive
  • varnish

Major players in pine resin can raise necessary pesos for investment in maintaining the trees, but would want a high interest rate in exchange.

Other hurdles exist, but the bottom line here is clear. The project is profitable and scalable, and needs committed investors willing to make adjustments in their everyday views to take into account the project's uniqueness.

Fortunately, the project is not theoretical research, but is, rather, already applying its concept in action. Its viability is thus available for assessment across various criteria.
