ECOMARKETS	REFORESTA	KfW
The objective of the Ecomarket Project is to increase the conservation of Costa Rica’s forests, support the development of markets and private suppliers of environmental services offered by private forests, include the protection of biological diversity as well as mitigate the gases that cause the greenhouse effect and favor hydrological services.	Its objective is to restart reforestation in Costa Rica along the development of three lines of work: design of a technical and financial plan favorable for the creation of forestry plantations with commercial purposes; the innovation and development of new products elaborated from wood from forestry plantations; and the design and execution of a marketing campaign for the consumption of wood from the plantations.	The general objective of the Huetar Norte Forestry Plan is to contribute to improve the net balance of gas emissions resulting from the greenhouse effect in Costa Rica through CO2 fixation. Also, promote other positive external effects derived from the forests and forestry plantations.

The ECOMARKET, REFORESTA AND KfW projects have been significant financing sources to help FONAFIFO fulfill its objectives.
