This research aimed to better understand on-farm and organizational relationships affecting shade tree biodiversity and household livelihoods in three small farmer coffee cooperatives of western El Salvador. The cooperatives were chosen based on their distinct characteristics, and their proximity to the protected area Parque Nacional El Imposible (PNEI). Fifty-one 1000 m2 plots for agroecological research were randomly or systematically laid out in the three cooperatives. Data on social organization and livelihoods was collected through 52 household interviews, and at least 15 focus groups.

520 $a This research aimed to better understand on-farm and organizational relationships affecting shade tree biodiversity and household livelihoods in three small farmer coffee cooperatives of western El Salvador. The cooperatives were chosen based on their distinct characteristics, and their proximity to the protected area Parque Nacional El Imposible (PNEI). Fifty-one 1000 m2 plots for agroecological research were randomly or systematically laid out in the three cooperatives. Data on social organization and livelihoods was collected through 52 household interviews, and at least 15 focus groups.
520 $a Household livelihoods of cooperative members relied mostly on agricultural work relating to coffee. Shade trees produced a diversity of products that were used both for household consumption and sales, which contributed considerably to the household economy. Member perceptions of their cooperatives were the result of a combination of factors, which include the origin, size, history and structure of each organization.
520 $a Complete tree inventories yielded a total of 169 tree species, of which 123 were adequately identified. Tree species richness was lower, but similar to that found on a recent study on the PNEI (total of 174 species in 28 plots). Only 24% of the 123 species identified were shared by the three cooperatives. A comparison between the sum of species found in the cooperatives and the forest (227) showed that the forest and the shade coffee plantations only share 16% of the species identified.
520 $a The levels of native tree biodiversity found in the cooperatives shows promise for conserving these species within shaded coffee plantations. Tree species richness was affected by a combination of biophysical factors (e.g. elevation and slope), as well as variables related to management, such as tree density. Dependence on tree products for livelihoods and cooperative types also influenced the levels of species richness.
520 $a An integration of the cooperatives into conservation strategies needs to ensure that these initiatives will not negatively affect their member's socioeconomic situation. Special attention should be placed on avoiding use restrictions of their shade tree resources. Despite some of the problems observed and issues expressed by their members, cooperatives seem to be a familiar form of organization that remains functional and respected by its members.
