The APFF was formed in 2003 by a group of local farmers who became aware of the damage that their activities were having in the forests and decided to become the guardians of it, dedicated to the protection of flora and fauna, agreeing with the ACR Cordillera Escalera and hoping that ecotourism will allow them to live with dignity.
It currently consists of 10 members and has the support of the French NGO “Envol Vert”.
