Representatives of the communities of Vallejuelo and Juan Santiago, women producers, formal leaders and decision-makers participated in the event. The meeting was part of a series of meetings for the elaboration of the EbA Strategic Plans. The first step was to learn about and reflect on the deforestation cycle, how it starts, and how many years it takes to continuously use a piece of land.
