Clean water and shade for Tlaquepaque: restoring the Baobab wetland
A neighborhood-led restoration of the Baobab wetland needs $350 for saplings and equipment.
Anywhere in the world880 views
The Baobab wetland has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 69 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 119 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the district council, including native species selected by a local botanist.
The area floods more each year, and fish have returned for the first time in a decade after our first cleanup. Restoring it will protect homes and bring back shade.
All the labor is volunteered. We just need materials.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $350 goes:
• Waste removal and skip hire: $260
• Tools and protective gear: $60
• Signage and educational materials: $30
I hope life is good to you.
