Abstrakt: The EDC - BINHI Program, is dedicated to restorating and revitalizing degraded forest areas through the promotion of native tree species. A notable success is the rediscovery of the Calades narig (Vatica elliptica). In 2015, two trees were rediscovered and it was assessed as Critically Endangered through the Global Tree Assessment. Swift action, protective measures and an intensive information campaign have led to its designation as a heritage tree in 2020. In 2022 the first fruiting of the species was documented, securing a sustainable source for future propagation. Local community participation in documentation and monitoring is pivotal, fostering ownership and stewardship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
