Prodesis was a development project in the Lacandon region of Chiapas, Mexico, that ran from 2004 to 2008. The aim of the project was to reduce pressure on the rainforest and combat poverty among its inhabitants, most of them being Mayan Indians and subsistence peasants. The project encountered a lot of opposition from the target group, accusing the Chiapas government of implementing yet another counter-insurgency project, backed by the European Union.
