RELEVANT DATA
-
20,000 hectares of forest are lost every day (27 soccer fields per minute)

Wood and honey revenues for USD $ 1,000 million per year
-
The regeneration and conservation of flora and fauna (jaguar) of 2 million hectares of tropical forest (area equivalent to 15 times Mexico City)
-
Social progress: 6,000 farmer families becoming middle class
For national and international wholesalers:
-
High-value certified products
-
Timber inventory by species and by production year
-
Catalog of manufacturing capabilities
-
-
Integration of the producer ecosystem in one single channel
-
Monitoring of management plans with IoT and blockchain
For forest owners:
-
Guaranteed purchases of raw material at fair prices
-
Effective management of red-tape processes
