‘Reforestamos Mexico’ Initiatives Look to Preserve Mexican Forest Land

‘Reforestamos Mexico’ Initiatives Look to Preserve Mexican Forest Land

The green initiative ‘Reforestamos Mexico’ (Reforesting Mexico) was born in 2002, focusing on conservation projects and the revival of natural capital through reforestation of natural protected areas of Mexican land. Nearly one-third of all Mexican territory is covered by forests and the reforestation of Mexican jungles and forests are essential for the development of Mexican territory. ‘Reforestamos Mexico’ is committed to ensuring that forests and jungles are kept green and that the right measures are implemented to strengthen social capital. 

The value of Mexican forests is shown by the millions of dollars it generates each year. As nearly 95 percent of forests belong to small owners, part of the ‘Reforestamos Mexico’ initiative focuses on closing the gap between rural and urban sectors and promoting the right conditions that will foment green business practices as well as fair business practices. 

‘Reforestamos Mexico’ proposes five courses of action that aim at increasing Mexico’s competitiveness, social and ecological sustainability, and making sure that strategic and key players are involved in reforestation initiatives across the country.
