    Description

    We are an organization dedicated to support indigenous communities and their lands, through projects for the conservation of natural and cultural heritage and traditional ecological knowledge.
    We have been working for 2 years now with the Mayan community of Yalcobá (near Valladolid) on agroecological projects and the reintroduction of native bees.
    We are also making an experimental center in the heart of the forest around permaculture, syntropic systems, agroforestry, eco-tourism, eco-construction and sustainable living.
