Forest restoration in northern Mexico

Greetings everyone!

On behalf of PIES de la Tierra A.C., we are pleased to share exciting progress in our restoration project in northern Mexico, as we continue our commitment to supporting local communities.

Since mid-2023, we have worked diligently to secure collaborations and funding for this project. Thanks to your generosity, in 2024, we have received various donations that will allow us to reforest more than 30 hectares, and construct 5 latrines, as well as 65 roof water harvesting systems for houses.

I’m happy to announce that we have already conducted the necessary meetings to plan the logistics for the communities. We have visited each home to take measurements for the rainwater harvesting systems and are now prepared to purchase the materials needed. Once ready, we will transport them to the communities where we are collaborating: Coyachique and Kowinapchi (El Pandito), Cerro Pelón, Ojo de Buey, Egochi and Maguey in the Batopilas and Bocoyna municipality.

It is important to remind you that we are facing a severe drought in the Sierra Tarahumara, which has led some communities to migrate due to the effects of climate change. The drinking water quality is also poor, largely due to the lack of proper sanitation facilities.

we hope thar in october start the execution of all the activities to acomplish this project.

Thanks to your continued support and trust, we can carry out this vital work. Each contribution makes a significant difference, bringing us closer to a more sustainable future. We remain committed to transparency and hope this update shows the positive impact we are making in the region.

We deeply appreciate your essential role in this journey. Let's keep walking together towards a healthier and more equitable environment!
