Environmental, Forest and Territorial Plan of Boruca Indigenous Territory

The Indigenous Integral Development Association of Boruca (ADIBORUCA) participated voluntary throughout the entire consultation process of the REDD+ National Strategy (National Strategy for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation or ENREDD+ for its acronym in Spanish) carried out since 2012. This process is developed by the National Secretariat REDD+ of the National Forest Financing Fund (FONAFIFO, for its acronym in Spanish), the National System of Conservation Areas (SINAC, for its acronym in Spanish) and with the technical and financial support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). With this process, the preparation of the Environmental, Forestry, and Territorial Plan of Boruca begins (EFTP Boruca). This process is part of various external financing mechanisms implemented in Costa Rica by the government. In the participation of the ADIBORUCA, as a first step, a reinforcement and update of the consultation process carried out by ENREDD+ regarding the REDD+ Programme was managed in the Indigenous Territory de Boruca. Then, the follow-up process to the consultation was carried out, in order to subsequently carry out the development of the EFTP Boruca, from the vision of the territory and with the participation of different sectorial stakeholders and the population in general.
