Grant Description

Senderos y Encuentros para un Desarrollo Autnomo Sustentable, A.C. (SENDAS) will work to support the Comit de la Cuenca del Ro Pixquiac (COCUPIX), an organization composed of residents of four indigenous communities, civil society organizations and the municipal government of Xalapa, in its management of natural resources in the watershed of the Pixquiac River, Central Veracruz.

The project, which includes payment for environmental services, will directly involve 575 families living in the watershed on roughly 161 hectares of agricultural and forested land.

It will indirectly benefit 1,140 ejidatarios, or residents of the indigenous communities, and 125,000 water users in the city of Xalapa.
