Additional information
1. Partnership
The local farmers who are members of the cooperatives and the Association Mushuk Yuyay will benefit from the income generated for their groups. The farmers will benefit from the education services so that they will replicate the activities on their family farms. The schools will participate in education activities in sciences of biology and ecology. Two local universities will benefit from the collaboration in product development and in applied environmental sciences. Local businesses will benefit from the products originating in this site. Traditional weavers will benefit from the wool production. We all will benefit from improved air quality as well as the help the biodiversity and increased vegetation will lend to the Amazon and Pacific water cycles Altogether, the project will benefit hundreds of local residents in southern Ecuador, and indirectly it will benefit the entire Earth.
Established collaborations and partnerships
Mushuk Yuyay has established working relationships with everyone who could be interested in this project. The local agricultural cooperatives, the Union of Cooperatives of Cañar, the Savings and Loan Cooperative Mushuk Yuyay. The Association also has a close relationship with the cantonal governments of the 3 cantons where they operate, as well as with the school districts. They are also in close relationship with the Provincial government of Cañar and with the university in the provincial capital of Azogues. In the city of Cuenca, they work with several organizations, including the University of Cuenca. They have a working relationship with the Cuenca Expats to coordinate on marketing projects.

Desired collaborations and partnerships
We at Mushuk Yuyay always pursue collaboration and communication with anyone addressing the same issues we are. We are open to learning from others. We enjoy the opportunity to exchange ideas, philosophies, points of view, and information with others. This helps us to better refine our ideas and to proceed more securely toward successful completion of our projects. We feel that we have a sound organization model that is showing success. Our model is based on democratic decision making in open discussions. Man and women, young and old, participate equally.
4 per 1000
My goal is to learn through sharing ideas and experiences with others. We are working seriously toward a better environment with cleaner air and water. We believe that we need to strengthen the soil and improve seed. We are increasing biodiversity and a natural balance in the local ecosystems. Anyone working on the same goals is a potential partner in this effort.
2.Solidarity - Twin-Regions
The twin regions concept aims to optimize the use of resources to address the global climate crisis and other pressing issues by promoting international solidarity and massive, empowered, self-reliant and equitable citizen participation. A Twin-Region is a pair of communities that are complementary in terms of green house gas emissions and sequestration potential. They pool their recourses and collaborate in order to become carbon neutral and to solve other pressing environmental and societal issues, such as biodiversity loss and migration.

Pros and cons
We would love to form a partnership with another community to work toward international solidarity. At this point, it seems that such a partnership could only be advantageous. However, before such a decision is made, the general assembly of Mushuk Yuyay would have to understand the concept fully and all of the ramifications of making such an agreement. With membership agreement, we could move ahead with forming a collaboration.

3. Ecological footprint
Status
Specifically, our ecological footprint would be reduced by using well managed biodiversity to build up soil organic carbon and removing it from the atmosphere. Currently, in the forested area, there are few machines ever used. There isn't even a road. However, the increased organic growth in the forest would take in carbon from the atmosphere and return it to the soil.
