The devastating effects of cartel violence are far-reaching and it’s disheartening to think that human conflict can cause such destruction of our natural resources. We need to prioritize finding peaceful solutions to these conflicts.

I completely agree that this isn’t a coincidence! The devastating impact of cartel violence and deforestation is a stark reminder of the urgent need for sustainable policies and investment in Mexico’s communities, rather than relying on military might. We must support efforts to address the root causes of these conflicts and promote environmental stewardship.
