In June, 2006 the country of Honduras, C.A. formally announced its
interest in becoming part of the Model Forest Regional Network for
Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC-Net) and was accepted, thereby
also officially becoming a member of the International Model Forest
Network (RIBM) - currently comprised of 40 Model Forest sites located
in more than 20 countries worldwide, and that collaborates with more
than 900 organizations both at the local and international levels.
The first Model Forest initiative in Honduras is currently being
developed in the Department of Atlantida, on the North Coast of the
country, by a group of committed local stakeholders and with the
support of international donors.
In November of 2006, during the second annual meeting of the Board of
Directors of LAC-Net in Esquel Argentina, the Atlantida Model forest
was officially integrated into the Model Forest Regional Network for
Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC-Net) as the pilot Model Forest
site in Honduras. Since then, a second site has been proposed
and is currently being developed in the Department of Yoro.
