This program in the year 2005 , inici the relationship n communal work with the execution of an environmental community diagnosis in the highlighted main issues: illegal logging and / or deforestacion , lack of awareness of the people by preserving biodiversity , DEGRADATION n soil , pollution and illegal caser to n of r os La Pavona and Luck . As part of the proposed solutions to the problem is environmental policy has worked to consolidate a Waste Management Program S solids and to promote agro ecology as a sustainable alternative productive farms located within corridors cal biol . One of the most important achievements is the TRAINING n received related to the agro ecological production n logic : integrated farm (80 hours , 4 persons) , n org nica production of greenhouse vegetables (72 hours, 10 people) and sustainable production n IMAS -EARTH (240 hours , 13 people) . TRAINING n post some of the people received initial support to foster sustainable practices and pr today we count : 5 greenhouses, 13 digesters , 2 m modules of the fences Generators , adem s to allocate space for manufacturing fertilizers , planting trees and establishing banks prote na . Additionally , n is strengthened others on topics such as computation n , home gardens org niques , MANAGEMENT n Local , waste management , environmental education n , n project elaboration . Today we know that the work helps reduce environmental problems, but has not solved , so this project is to continue the journey to strengthen families who initiated or initiated changes to produce more sustainably through agriculture and livestock to conservation , thereby preventing waste mechanics org mismanaged farm to contaminate the soil and nearby waters. Another important factor is the reduced utilization of agroqu n monkeys , a major source of pollution of the environment . The goal is for 27 families to develop initiatives , and practices of sustainable agriculture and livestock to . This initiative is not new but it is a process that tore with more force at time 2005-2006 , articulating the agro ecological production n logic with new trends of production n org nica and thanks to this the region has capitalized the n valuable support of institutions and NGO s as MAG , IDA, IMAS , EARTH , CEDECO , ACTo -SINAC , UCR , UNED, including and especially the experience of adding innovative producers and producers who accepted the challenge to lead and believe in the movement . Additionally , and not least the project includes support for n consolidation of communal waste management program s lidos ; This program already has a small or collection center , a process of initial TRAINING n and a community committee responsible for the program . Aiming this issue raised in the community is expected to have more information ny awareness to actively participate in the recycling plan . The communities are located within the Corridor Biol logical Colorado - Tortuguero and the buffer zone of the PNT . This ubicacion , makes them important for the development of productive initiatives friendly to the environment, it is known that the effects of contamination by agroqu n s monkeys and waste solids reach the park deteriorating biodiversity.
