ICCO in Guatemala

ICCO supports Guatemalan Indigenous Peoples in their efforts to find justice for human rights violations and defend and govern their territories. ICCO collaborates with forest communities in the Mayan Biosphere Reserve, developing innovative and sustainable forest management models. We also empower indigenous youth by strengthening their leadership abilities and advocacy tools to defend their rights.
