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.

La Mosquitia is one of the most remote regions in Central America. There are no roads connecting it to the rest of the country. You either fly in on small planes or spend days travelling by canoe. This creates real challenges, but it is also part of what makes this place so special.🌱

On our last field trip, we did a test live-stream with a few of the companies that have supported us and it was a huge success!

We kicked things off with a video we pieced together from the trip, then introduced our local staff, members of our community fire brigade, and streamed live directly from the reforested area.🧑🏽‍🚒🌱

Most of the session was the companies asking questions straight to the local community. Really special to see that connection happen in real time.💚

Loly has both avoided a plane crash by just a few minutes and found herself with half the car hanging off a high bridge.😳😱

When things like that happen more than once, you can’t just call it luck.

Loly helps keep Paskaia running in a region many would describe as the Wild West, and somehow does it with a calm the rest of us can only try to understand.🌱

“Mackan”, our guy on the ground.🫡🌱

Maklin grew up in La Mosquitia, but later moved to Nicaragua, where he earned a degree as a forestry engineer. He coordinates and communicates with the fire brigade.
We wanted him to teach us Miskito. Instead, he learned Swedish…🤔

He can drive fast when there are fires, which might explain his own optimistic sense of “Mackan time”.😂

Yesterday I visited the first reforestation project I started in Honduras, more than 20 years ago. When I first arrived, the forest was long gone, cleared for cattle production. It’s really impressive to see how much can change in a relatively short time, and not only in the landscape, but in peop...

Before & after from Paskaia’s first restoration in Tipi, La Mosquitia. Watching the forest come back is the best motivation to keep us going for the next 20 years.

Loly, Marvin and Macklin has spent the last few days in Tikiraya, and we couldn’t be more impressed—our smallholders have done an amazing job, and all the young trees are thriving! It’s been a while since our last visit, but thanks to their dedication, the site looks fantastic.

With our new satellite internet setup, we here in Sweden were able to join the team meeting live. It’s really cool to be able to connect with our most remote participants this way.
