Why Chiapas and Oaxaca?
The importance of preservation in both places, Chiapas and Oaxaca, lays on both have the greatest biodiversity from the country, considering Mexico as number 11th in terms of bird’s biodiversity, the 5th on vascular plants and amphibians, the 3rd on mammalian and 2nd on reptiles.
Preserve water resource is also really important, Chiapas possesses around 33% of Mexico’s fresh water, even though the cultural and environmental richness, a big part of this had been lost. In the past 50 years more than 50% of the forest coverage was lost.
It is for that reason we do community work, to preserve our biggest richness.
