La Mosquitia

Situated in the northeastern part of Honduras, by the Caribbean Sea, La Mosquitia is home to the country's last significant primeval forest. However, centuries of logging and frequent fires have degraded vast areas of Caribbean pine forest into savanna lands where trees can no longer germinate, turning nature from a supportive force into a hostile environment for the local communities.

In 2018, the Miskito people asked us,
“Is it really possible for us to get our
forest back?”

The Indigenous Miskito People

At Paskaia, we’re creating a sustainable future for the Miskito people of La Mosquitia—one of Central America’s most disadvantaged regions. Here, more than 90% of people live below the poverty line, relying heavily on nature through hunting, fishing, and small-scale farming. Increasingly vulnerable to climate change and extreme weather, these communities urgently need support to build resilience and restore their environment. Our approach combines ecological restoration with community empowerment, protecting forests, creating jobs, and promoting economic opportunities. Together with the local communities, we are turning degraded landscapes into thriving ecosystems, ensuring stable employment, food security, and sustainable livelihoods.
