Restoration and Social Empowerment

Some people are simply indispensable to a project. Mari is one of them. She asks questions, challenges ideas, makes proposals and, above all, gets things done. As a member of the Tepelmeme Ejido, her commitment and energy have been essential in moving many aspects of our project

During the past few weeks, we have had very little rain in Tepelmeme. When this happens during the early stages after planting, we carry out supplemental watering to help the trees through the dry period.

Besides providing water, this supplemental watering helps rehydrate the hydrogel

🌱 The trees we planted this year to strengthen our restoration efforts are already beginning to adapt to their new home.

The first few days are critical. The trees leave behind the protected conditions of the nursery and begin adapting to the soil, climate, and water availability

With great joy and pride, we are pleased to share that Mexico's Ministry of Environment visited Tepelmeme during this year's planting season, recognizing the outstanding forestry work carried out by the community. This acknowledgment honors years of commitment, dedication, and collective

One of the keys to a successful planting is building tree basins correctly. In semi-arid regions like Tepelmeme, their size is essential to capture and retain as much rainwater as possible around each tree.

The basin must also be deep enough for the hydrogel, a polymer that absorbs

Today we're loading the trees that we'll be planting throughout the week. Little by little, we continue strengthening our project through tree replacement and working toward thoughtful ecological restoration.

Great days await us in Tepelmeme!

During our field visits, we have observed a good performance from our trees, such as this Lysiloma acapulcense (tepehuaje) which, after being planted last year, is now growing strongly in the semi-desert.

This species, native to the tropical dry forest, is well adapted to rocky

We continue carrying out monitoring activities across our plantations. As winter comes to an end, we enter the most critical time of the year for our young trees. The dry season and intense sun can place significant stress on recently planted seedlings.

During this period, we actively

At Las Flores site in Tepelmeme, the project is framed by agroforestry initiatives focused on sustainable use, in which the local population is directly involved. This is the case of this nopal plantation. What we want to convey is that our reforestation project includes different

This 2026 begins with a key stage for our project. We are currently caring for and monitoring the growth of the young trees that will be planted throughout the year in Tepelmeme. These are species native to the tropical dry forest, selected for their strong adaptation to the territory

The year is coming to an end, and we couldn’t let it go without thanking everyone who believes a better world is possible. Thank you for being with us, for trusting us, and for continuing to support nature.

We’ll see you very soon, with more trees, more community, and plenty of

Our director has made frequent visits to Tepelmeme, recognizing the region’s great natural potential. During these visits, he has witnessed the progress of the reforestation project and the strong commitment shown by the local community.

Looking ahead to 2026, plans are underway

The Invisible Superpower of Hydrogel

It doesn’t wear a cape or fly, but hydrogel is a true hero in our restoration projects. This magical polymer mixes with the soil and can retain up to 400 times its weight in water, releasing it slowly so roots never go thirsty.
