Selective logging and deforestation have caused a significant reduction in populations of species such as the pink cedar, which is currently represented by scattered individuals across the landscape. For this reason, the primary objective of promoting restoration processes with native and timber species is to increase the density of threatened plants, encourage the sustainable use of natural resources, and improve both the quantity and quality of habitat, while benefiting other wildlife species, such as the howler monkey and jaguar.

Additionally, through strategies like the implementation of community nurseries, the development capacities of local communities are strengthened by providing a solid foundation to drive and consolidate ecological restoration processes. These actions contribute to the recovery of ecosystems and promote community participation in the conservation and sustainable use of the environment.
