Campaña Agua de la Sierra (Water of the Sierra campaign) aims to restore and enhance Sierra de la Laguna’s natural landscape through the promotion of sustainable development while safeguarding it’s precious ecosystem. We believe in fostering a harmonious relationship between humans and nature. Through education, research, and community engagement, we strive to inspire environmental stewardship and create a legacy of conservation that transcends borders and generations. Our dedication to biodiversity conservation is demonstrated through our partnership with UCAS - Union de Conservación Agua de la Sierra (Union for the Conservation of the Water of the Mountains) - a coalition of local ranchers and conservationists committed to implementing sustainable land management practices.
Building on the efforts of Rancho Encinalito, our mission is to help UCAS become a beacon of biodiversity conservation and environmental stewardship in the Sierra de la Laguna region. We are committed to protecting and preserving the natural reserve at Rancho Encinalito and expanding those efforts in the region for current and future generations to enjoy.
