    Description

    My name is Lázaro. My father was a farmer, to whom I am very grateful for having instilled in us ideas of conservation of flora and fauna. He used to say that one of the most effective forms of conservation is "when we take ownership of our natural resources and make them part of our daily lives". Living here all my life has allowed me to witness the loss of ecosystems due to deforestation, illegal logging, cattle ranching, agriculture, charcoal production, uncontrolled tourism, poaching and fires over the last 30 years in the state of Campeche. Since then, my family of 6 and I have worked for the dream we shared with my father: to maintain a nature reserve that conserves the environment and to live in harmony with nature.

    This is a family project focused on biodiversity restoration through reforestation and sustainable farming for more than 20 years in the State of Campeche, Mexico.

    For more than 20 years, the reserve is being used for:

    - conservation of existing rainforest
    - reforestation of previously deforested areas
    - ecological agriculture, permaculture, honey production, rescue of native bees
    - creation of habitats for wildlife, such as: Tepezcuintles, Mayan Bees, Howler Monkeys, Peccaries, Coatis, Armadillos, Margays, Tayras, White-tailed Deer, Sereques, as well as many types of trees and other plants
    - Breeding and release of endangered species.
    - natural rainwater ponds that are used for wildlife, but must be supplied with water during the dry season (January-June).
    - academic education and dissemination of conservation information to students and travelers
    - community involvement and creating synergies with the government
