CAMPESINOS LAND & CONSERVATION INITIATIVE
We are working in collaboration with a group of more than 50 local indigenous families of La Nueva Esperanza, San Jose Peten, Guatemala, united by our respect and appreciation for nature, our love and caring for the land.
As third and fourth generations of families who carry the tradition of caring and tenure of the land. Our daily existence is reliant on our connection and commitment to nature. Our survival depends on our ability to put a stop to further destruction in our region.
CREATING CAUSEWAYS THAT ALLOW SPIECIES TO RETURN
The local lands we live on between the lake and the protected Mayan biosphere borderline used to be pristine jungle. They have been almost entirely cleared over the past 30 years for cattle and mono crop production. Some areas are already beginning to face desertification.
We carry the responsibility to rewild nature, protect the local biodiversity, wildlife, to create new forms of abundance that are in alignment with nature, and to create a model example of living sustainably that will help others to follow.
REGENERATIVE & SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE
There is a major potential for our region to be entirely self sustainable, plus be able to provide to the urbanised communities around the lake with fresh organic local produce.
Tenuring the land using ancient traditionall knowledge combined with modern green technologies, familIes will not only have enough for themselves and their children, but will be able to create additional local commerce that increases direct support to one another making front door exchanges of fresh surplus produce starting by growing right outside in our own backyard gardens.
