Forest Health and Human Health

The protection and conservation of our forests and green spaces are critical to improving the health of communities, particularly those suffering from health disparities.
Pollinator conservation
This program creates and supports initiatives that generate awareness and inspire action around pollinator conservation and its relationship to healthy ecosystems, food security, and human well-being.
redescubre el Yunque: Puerto Rico
Corazón Latino has partnered in launching the first-ever citizen science program in the El Yunque National Forest (EYNF). This initiative aims to support the implementation of the EYNF Revised Management Plan. Redescubre El Yunque serves as a vehicle to engage communities surrounding EYNF in scientific data collection on the forest, while strengthening bonds with our nation’s only tropical rainforest, while increasing the understanding of the critical role that EYNF plays in environmental and community health.
