Restoration and Social Empowerment

Restoration and Social Empowerment, Mexico

This project supports under-resourced communities (ejidos) in restoring degraded forests. Hotter seasons, intensified rains, wildfires, and illegal logging have weakened forests, leading to thinning, soil erosion, and water depletion. The ejidos, as forest owners, lead tree planting and maintenance, with women often at the forefront, improving the resilience of the forests and preventing further human-caused damage.

June 2024

We are still working to completely control the fire that has damaged many acres of our land. Our role in helping out so far has been to provide supplies to the fire brigades who are all volunteer workers.

A major forest/brush fire has occurred near our village. We are currently assessing the impact it may have on our project. Hopefully we will get the results in soon.

Que afectación hubo ?

Our trees are still growing in the nursery. Seeds for the trees are collected locally so that we plant only native, local trees.

This is the village of Tepelmeme. Here we aim to plant 50,000 trees to help them in their effort to decrease the spread of the desert due to climate change.

We are having a typical severe dry season here in Tepelmeme. We are waiting for the rainy season, typically June through August, to plant the trees so they will grow and live long.

Paul Burgos leads an organizational meeting for the planting of 50,000 trees.
To really understand what it takes to plant 50 thousand trees in a few weeks you must have a detailed plan that everyone involved understands and approves of. We had another such meeting yesterday.

All the trees are ready and the ground has been prepared for planting. All that is left now is to wait for the rain. Rain is precious here in Tepelmeme. We will supplement what little we get by watering the trees we plant.

Well done

January 2024

You can see how the desert has taken over a lot of the space where we are going to plant. Here we are reviewing the area to be planted and are assessing the soil's ability to support the new trees that will be planted in June.

The people of Tepelmeme wish everyone a happy new year! Soon there will be trees in all the land you see in this photo!
