Our first major project in Guatemala is cleaning the bay of Puerto San Thomas, Izabal. We have a limited amount of rivers which will be the first cleaned with RiverImpact Barriers in Guatemala.
In cooperation with Fundaeco, the largest NGO in Guatemala and heavily involved in the protection of the eco-systems in Izabal, RiverImpact will implement fourteen RiverImpact Barriers in seven small rivers that pollute the bay of Puerto San Thomas.
The Choluteca River in Honduras is facing a major environmental crisis due to the accumulation of plastic waste. This not only affects the health of the river, but also has negative impacts on the ecosystem and wildlife that depend on it. The situation is particularly alarming, as the Choluteca River serves as a source of water for thousands of people in the region.
