Forestry, milpa, chicle, and beekeeping.
The document describes livelihoods shaped by milpa agriculture, chicle extraction, beekeeping, and forest management. It records a permanent forestry area of 25,000 hectares and a historical chicle cooperative. Forestry is described as supporting around 100 seasonal jobs at the time of the source.
What this history does not prove.
The source does not document an operating eco-touristic retreat, a tourism cooperative, the Mayan Learning Center, the Mayan Bee Sanctuary, present-day bookings, or current biodiversity credits. The retreat record on this site therefore remains a concept under documentation.
