About
Pronatura México AC was created in 1981 and works from Mexico City on water, climate and biodiversity programs across Mexico, often through the regional Pronatura network. Its RECONECTA program since 2023 links companies and their employees to reforestation and soil-and-water conservation works with local communities, and it co-implemented the National Reforestation and Water Harvesting Program (PNRCA) with CONAFOR and The Coca-Cola Company from 2007 to 2020. It also develops community forest-carbon projects, including 68,876 hectares of ejido forest in Campeche.
