The Cabachuelas Project, led by the Cabachuelas Work Cooperative, has turned its focus to ecotourism as a means of generating income while preserving the natural forest. Rather than constructing hotels, the community's decision to preserve the forest has not only provided a source of revenue but also instilled a sense of belonging and pride among the locals. This shift represents a successful model of ecological restoration, demonstrating the potential for sustainable economic opportunities rooted in environmental preservation.
