Paskaia

Paskaia Paskaia hjälper Honduras urfolk Miskito att plantera skog på områden där skogen skövlats för många år sedan.

Målet är att skapa ett modernt och hållbart skogsbruk, och samtidigt binda stora mängder kol och skapa ett bättre klimat. Mosquitia ligger vid karibiska havet och är Honduras sista stora urskogsområde, det befolkas av urfolket Miskito. En stor del av skogen i området har försvunnit genom århundraden av avverkning av värdefullt virke, mest känt är hondurasmahogny. Nu har Miskito fått tillbaka ägand

erätten till marken, men arbetslösheten är mycket stor och befolkningen saknar medel för att plantera ny skog. Det svenska nystartade bolaget Paskaia ger nu lokalbefolkningen chansen att bygga upp ett modernt och hållbart skogsbruk. När träden växer binds stora mängder kol, både i marken och i trädens egen biomassa.
20 år efter plantering kan träd börja avverkas och genom att virket då används i båtar, möbler och hus så binds kolet under mycket lång tid framåt. I luckan efter det avverkade trädet planteras ett nytt som tar över och fortsätta arbetet med att ta upp kol från luften. Paskaia betyder framtid på det lokala språket Miskito.

The work in Honduras vs Sweden really has its own challenges. Judging by the pictures, we look more comfortable turning a lamp cord into jumper cables on the savanna…😅🌱

Updates from the field🌱

Every August, on the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, the Miskito communities come together for Sihkru Tara, the great gathering. A day to celebrate who they are, their ancestors, their language, their land. This year, we were invited to join in CTI Lainasta, dancing and sharing stories with the people of Tikiurraya.😍🌱💚

Fire season is over. Now we’re monitoring, and doing our very own carbon calculations for the Caribbean pine. Soon we’ll know even more exactly how much carbon is stored in the new forest. Spoiler alert, there’s tons🤭🌱

Early on in our co-design process, the Indigenous community suggested rotating the brigade teams so employment reaches as many people as possible. That means frequent fire management courses, and a stronger local resilience along with it.🌱

This is Octavio.👋🏽🌱

He told us that before the project, he sometimes had to cut down trees to make a living. It doesn’t bring in much money, but for many people living far out in the countryside, it has often been a last resort.

We’re very happy to hear that the project has created a steady alternative, helping him afford things like school supplies for his kids.

This is really what Paskaia is about, supporting livelihoods.🌱

It’s finally raining a little more in La Mosquitia.🌧️

Our brigade team has worked incredibly hard this season. These photos are from our latest field trip, when a large fire broke out just outside our protected area.🔥🧯

After hours of hard work, the team managed to put it out.🌱

Marvin has been working with Paskaia from the very beginning. His laugh can be heard all the way from Siguatepeque to La Mosquitia.😂

With nearly 400 recorded tree species in Honduras, Marvin could probably name every one of them.🌲🌳

And with decades of experience bringing forests back, he’s exactly who you want leading Paskaia Honduras.🌱
