Our History
Chiapas, biocultural landscape
We work in two regions, in the Highlands of Chiapas based in the municipality of San Cristobal de Las Casas, and in the Central Depression region in the municipality of San Lucas.
We were born from the collective and collaborative work with Citizens for Territorial Action in the Jovel Valley Watershed (CATCVJ) and the Jovel Valley Watershed Committee (CCVJ) in the year 2021.
In April 2022, we incorporated as a non-profit civil association ‘Your Forest A.C.’. (Your Forest A.C.).
