Testimonials

Ejido partners

The ejido partners have set aside an area of rainforest to devote to conservation

According to the Canto de la Selva statutes, only partners (members of the Rural Production Society) and their relatives can be hotel employees. Profit sharing varies depending on the area of rainforest each ejido member has set aside to devote to conservation.

As a result of this new productive alternative, there has been zero deforestation in the Galacia ejido in the past four years.
