ÁREA AMBIENTAL
1. Water Resource Management Plan
The Water Resource Management Plan of PALMASA implements actions to prevent, mitigate, compensate, and/or correct the effects of environmental impacts generated in the past by agricultural practices in riparian areas of water bodies located within or adjacent to oil palm plantations.
1.1. Wildlife Monitoring Program
Its main objective is to record the presence of wildlife species in remnant vegetation areas located within oil palm plantations of farms associated with PALMASA.
The recording methods implemented were:
• Camera trapping
Ocelote (Leopardus pardalis)
Guatusa (Dasyprocta punctata)
• Direct observations of organisms (Sightings).
1.2. Reforestation Program
Its purpose is to organize integration events, corporate social responsibility activities, and environmental education programs with the communities within the area of influence of projects related to PALMASA.

2. Environmental Remediation Plan
PALMASA will carry out environmental remediation activities by planting native forest trees and implementing specific forest restoration criteria to repopulate riparian areas within oil palm plantations of partner farms. The main objectives of this plan are the restoration of biodiversity, the functional improvement of disturbed environmental settings, the progressive regeneration of degraded vegetation cover, and the promotion of the protection of environmental services and values in sites of conservation interest.
3. Environmental Compensation Plan
Palmasa works jointly with the Cuero & Salado Foundation (FUCSA), an organization designated by the government since 1989 as the administrator of the Cuero & Salado Wildlife Refuge (RVSBCS), located between the municipalities of La Masica, San Francisco, and El Porvenir in the department of Atlántida. It was designated as a protected area through Legislative Decree 99-87 on July 29, 1987, published in the Gazette 25,313 on August 31, 1987.
PALMASA, as a socially and environmentally responsible company, supports conservation programs for the Caribbean manatee populations present and distributed within the Cuero & Salado Wildlife Refuge (RVSBCS). This species is currently endangered, which makes it necessary to incorporate new monitoring technologies. For the development of this program, hydrophones and side-scan sonars are implemented, enabling the creation of a technologically advanced strategy for the comprehensive conservation of the Caribbean manatee and its habitats.
