Location: Paragüay, Guantánamo Province, Cuba

Analog forestry was introduced in Cuba in 2007, and its application was extended to 14 forestry farms in Paragüay (Guantánamo province, Cuba) in early 2008. The Guantánamo province suffers from long-term high temperatures, prolonged droughts and high salinity from the ground. The objective of the work was to present the analog forestry design for the restoration of 14 forest farms in the province of Guantánamo.

Analog Forestry as an Alternative Tool for Rural Development and Environmental Conservation: The Case of Finca Buenaventura, Pacayitas, Turrialba, Costa Rica.

Authors: Roberto Vindas Hernández And Kristopher Ebanks Marroquín

Location: Buenaventura Farm, Pacayitas, Turrialba, Costa Rica

The Buenaventura farm was dominated for more than 25 years by the cultivation of sugar cane, with devastating consequences for the environment and the economy.

This project arises in response to the rapid destruction and degradation of terrestrial and marine ecosystems and the lack of effective actions to recover lost natural resources.

Analog Forestry as a Tool for Ecological Restoration in a Forest Planted with Eucalyptus Globulus at Hacienda El Paraíso, Imbabura Province. (2020)

Authors: Cinthya Nicole Carrasco Hinojosa
Location: Hacienda El Paraíso, Imbabura Province, Ecuador

For more than 35 years, Hacienda el Paraíso was a monoculture of Eucalyptus globulus, which caused the loss of biodiversity, soil degradation and erosion, the reduction of water resources and the fragmentation of the landscape. Therefore, the objective of this project was to use an analogue forestry approach to restore the forest planted with E. globulus and provide economic resources to the local community.
