Biodiversity Reserve
We conserve and regenerate what monoculture destroyed.

Veracruz faces critical biodiversity loss. According to Global Forest Watch data, the state has lost nearly **541,000 hectares of tree cover** between 2001 and 2024.
Uncontrolled expansion of monocultures (citrus and pasture) has turned continuous forest into isolated "islands". This breaks biological corridors essential for fauna and causes progressive drying of aquifers.
While neighboring lands suffer water erosion, at El Papán we implement natural engineering strategies to retain water and regenerate soil.
We built a strategic dike for water and sediment retention. Results have exceeded expectations: in just 7 months, the structure infiltrates thousands of liters daily and has raised the soil level by one meter.
Measured Impact (Retention)
150 m³
of fertile soil recovered (50m x 3m x 1m)
Massive reforestation in 2025 with native species: Cedar, Mahogany, Rosy Trumpet, and Primavera, restoring the rainforest's vertical structure.
Total elimination of agrochemicals. We encourage organic matter accumulation to create fertile and biodiverse soil.
The presence of these species confirms ecosystem recovery.
"We recently implemented a rescue protocol for a juvenile **armadillo** (Dasypus novemcinctus), protecting it from domestic predation and relocating it to the reserve's Core Zone."
