The project seeks to conserve critical biodiversity in El Salvador through the maintenance and enhancement of habitats within shade-coffee plantations. Specific outcomes sought include: (a) increase the extent of coffee plantations under biodiversity-friendly shade regimes to serve as habitats for globally significant biodiversity; (b) initiate the establishment of biological corridors composed of shade coffee plantations; and (c) promote the development of a "biodiversity-friendly" coffee production system in El Salvador, along with its certification and marketing abroad.
