Location: San Cristobal de Las Casas, Mexico
Summary
Can you imagine a world with no trees? The principal cause of deforestation in Chiapas is the lost of traditions among indigenous communities. Their way of living which is centered in the use of wood for heat, cooking, building and also the agriculture methods burning the ground are causing an accelerated destruction of the forests. Teaching the children how to create and protect the forests is centered in recovering the tradition of caring for nature and producing wood to cover their needs.
