with Scott Sabin: Executive Director

and Joy Berry: Director of Development

Floresta USA and its Dominican sister organization, Floresta Incorporada were founded in 1984, out of a new vision for economic development that would be sustainable and benefit the environment. Floresta seeks to make lasting change through development that restores productivity to degraded land and dignity to the rural poor, while providing opportunities for upcoming generations.

Few organizations have so successfully wed economic, environmental and spiritual solutions to the problems of poverty and deforestation. Floresta has developed an economically sound, replicable model that will make a difference in many more lives, around the world.
