Planting trees to restore vital resources
In Mexico, we planted trees in Sierra del Nido to halt desertification and help recharge aquifers, as well as in the Iztaccihuatl-Popocatepetl National Park and in the Nevado de Toluca Flora and Fauna Protection Area, to conserve and restore forests without which surrounding cities would face major difficulties.
