The Guatemalan Sugar Industry, with the technical advice of the Private Institute for Climate Change Research -ICC-<\/a> and with the support of the Biodiversity and Business program in Central America and the Dominican Republic of the German Technical Cooperation -GIZ-, announced the commitments and \u201cGuidelines for the Preservation and Restoration of the Biological Diversity in the Guatemalan Production of Sugar\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aware that Guatemala is one of the 20 megadiverse countries in the world, the directors of all the sugar mills, members of the Guatemalan Sugar Producers Association, approved the guidelines to take specific actions to meet the goal of care and restore the biodiversity in the sugarcane zone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the agro-landscape where sugarcane is grown were documented a third of all the birds know to live in the country. 248 species of birds have been identified in the forests and forest segments within the land where sugarcane grows<\/a>, 55 of these species are protected according to international and national conservation lists, in addition 78 species of migratory birds find refuge in the sugar cane agro-landscape. \u201d, explained Alex Guerra, director of the ICC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCaring for this biological wealth in our environment is fundamental; thats why we\u2019ve made commitments to carry out our operations in a sustainable way, prioritizing conservation and restoration so that the present and future generations can enjoy the flora and fauna that take refuge in the sugarcane zone\u201d, said Alfredo Vila, president of the Guatemalan Sugar Producers Association -Asazgua-.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Result of over 5 years of investigation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

After more than 5 years of studies at the sugarcane landscape, ICC experts documented the existence of a great biological wealth. In Guatemala the sugarcane grows at the south of the country, in a landscape mixed with forests and other plantations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the technical support of the ICC and GIZ,  guidelines for the conservation and restoration of biological diversity in the production of Guatemalan Sugar were developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

The Guatemalan Sugar Industry will have the scientific advice of the ICC to implement the guidelines, according to the natural conditions of each work area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe biological wealth that provides refuge to multiple species in the sugarcane agro-landscape is a treasure that must be taken care of.  It is crucial to protect the biological biodiversity in the world and here, the Guatemalan Sugar Industry has taken important commitments to allow Guatemala\u2019s natural legacy to be perpetuated and inherit it to future generations\u201d added Alfredo Vila president of the Guatemalan Sugar Producers Association -Asazgua-.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
