Videos are supplied by various stakeholders and illustrate the model and its on-the-ground activities; including, sustainable coffee production, forest restoration mapping, and carbon sequestration measurement.

Welcome to the Yoro Biological Corridor … an initiative to link eight Honduran forest parks threatened by conventional coffee production. It’s also the first forest corridor in Honduras to submit for legal protection, which will make it the first officially protected biological corridor in Central America! The Yoro Model is a method of growing coffee that conserves forest & processing that coffee using renewable energy. It is proving a solution for effectively reversing the negative environmental impacts of conventional coffee production.

The Yoro Model is a model of producing coffee designed to restore and conserve forest on private lands (coffee farms) that is currently being demonstrated and refined in Yoro, Honduras.

The Yoro Model

The first forest corridor in to reach the official submission process for legal protection status, making use of a unique forest protection law.

The Forest Corridor

Plants, animals and people are all intrinsic to biodiversity protection in the Corridor, which provides critical habitat for forest-dwelling species.

The Biodiversity

The Yoro Biological Corridor (YBC) enables local communities work together and improve living conditions via stable green employment; With a special emphasis on women, youth training & forest conservation.

The Community

The Yoro Biological Corridor and website is managed by the engineers, conservation scientists, and coffee growers active in developing The Yoro Model.
