Starting environmental workshops in Escobilla and Ventanilla, we gave a next step creating the environmental brigades!
Pollination project supported us to strengthen the groups to protect their environment.
We’ve focused the project that they supported on humming birds and their conservation in Oaxaca with them.

- Purchasing materials to repair the facilities after Hurricane Agatha,
- Repairing the road to the turtle camp
- Purchasing other materials such as wheels for the quad, the main tool during night patrols.
- Buying materials for the environmental education workshops.
- This project also helped financially to design the volunteer program and initiate its pilot phase, which started together with the Escobilla Ecotourism Center.
