Natural Resources

Environmental assessments, development and implementation of environmental management plans are crucial for Verde Azul. We must keep in absolute focus the health of the land.

Verde Azul started in 2008/2009 to gradually shift it’s core business from social and environmental studies and private sector development projects to focus on implementing projects in the area of land use, management and sustainable use of natural resources for the benefit of the entire biotic community. We recognize that growth and jobs are not only dependent on industry, but in first instance, growth and jobs are dependent on the health of land and nature as a system.
