Predio Las Piedras

Improved forest management protecting biodiversity and supporting local communities in Veracruz, Mexico.

Predio Las Piedras is located in Veracruz, Mexico, a region of extraordinary ecological richness where tropical montane forests shelter remarkable biodiversity. The project applies improved forest management to reduce the impact of selective logging, protect old-growth stands, and generate verified carbon credits. Veracruz forests host a high concentration of endemic plant and animal species, including migratory birds, cloud forest amphibians, and rare orchids. The initiative supports indigenous and local ejido communities through conservation agreements, sustainable resource use, and training programs, demonstrating that economic development and biodiversity protection can be mutually reinforcing. The project area acts as a biological corridor connecting highland and lowland ecosystems, enhancing species movement and long-term ecosystem resilience.

How it fits the portfolio

Removes CO₂ from the atmosphere and stores it in trees, mangroves and soils.

Risks to know

  • Reversal: stored carbon can be lost to fire, disease or land-use change.
  • Storage lasts decades rather than centuries.
