Estimados Señores:
Somos una Organización No Gubernamental, que nuestro principal objetivo es la Conservación y manejo de los Recursos Naturales, estamos ubicados en el Departamento de Petén al norte de Guatemala. Actualmente estamos trabajando con comunidades locales rurales, proporcionándoles la asistencia técnica que necesiten en el logro de un desarrollo autosostenible a nivel comunitario, conservando y manejando de una manera adecuada los bosques. Nuestra consulta es si podemos aplicar con una comunidad indígena que está organizada legalmente como una Asociación denominada BIOITZA. Esta Asociación a nivel regional se le ha denominado como un modelo de autogestion comunitaria. Nos gustaría saber si podemos aplicar con esta Asociación, agradeciendo de antemano su respuesta me suscribo de usted,
Atentamente,
Rafael Aguilar
Director General

Dear Sirs:
We are an NGO that our main objective is the conservation and management of natural resources, we are located in the Department of Petén in northern Guatemala. We are working with local rural communities, providing technical assistance they need in achieving self-sustaining development at the community level, preserving and properly managing a forest. Our query is whether we can apply to an indigenous community that is legally organized as an association called Bioitza. The partnership at the regional level has been called a model of community self-management. We wonder whether we can apply to this Association, thanking in advance for your response I subscribe to you,
Sincerely,
Rafael Aguilar
