Provita develops science-based conservation actions to avoid land degradation and boost ecosystem restoration. As part of the Mapbiomas and RAISG (Red Amazónica de Información Socio Georeferenciada) networks we monitor land use change and superficial water through satellite imagery and mapping, with a special emphasis in the Venezuelan Amazon region. On the ground, we promote agroforestry of shade crops to halt deforestation while planting native trees to bring back the forest in degraded lands.
