About
La Canita
La Cañita is restoring degraded forests, protecting vital water sources, and creating lasting community benefits—like clean energy, local jobs, and access to education and healthcare. Built on deep local knowledge and decades of fieldwork, this project blends nature-based solutions with real economic opportunity.
Project Overview
“Market Maker” is a pioneering biodiversity credit initiative launched in San Dimas, Durango, México. Built on decades of ecological monitoring, the project responds to severe environmental degradation caused by climate change—manifested in polluted water, loss of biodiversity, and poor soil quality.
Through the collaborative efforts of CDFAI, UFAT, and NAT5, the project introduces Verified Biodiversity Base Credits (1,242,674 units) as a scalable financial mechanism to fund ecosystem restoration and conservation. These credits drive sustainable land management and the protection of vital forest ecosystems that support water, oxygen, and food systems.
