Protecting the Monarch Butterfly with the help of local partners & communities
In addition to reforesting and restoring the ecosystem of the monarch butterfly, we support the local community and economy: by working directly with them, we can contribute to job creation and ensure the protection of the plantings. The reforestation projects also benefit residents in terms of clean water, as the Reserve feeds 20+ bodies of water, playing a critical role in supplying water to millions of people in Mexico.
Beyond Carbon
Supporting clean water sources and ecosystem balance
By restoring the soil and afforesting the region, we're supporting ecosystems and water sources: the reserve feeds 23 springs, 8 dams, and many bodies of water, supplying water to millions of people in Mexico.
Restoring the Reserve for generations to come
Restoring the degraded land will improve soil quality, restore biodiversity, protect and restore this essential migratory corridor and maintain balance in the area, as well as protect local water sources.
Ensuring environmental stewardship for local communities
By working directly with the stewards of the reserve, the indigenous Mazahuas communities, and other local groups, we can contribute to the local economy and ensure planting protection.
