They demand to finish reforesting El Chamizal
“We demand that a drip irrigation system be installed for the plants recently placed in the Holes, for their survival, in three sections, cacti, agaves and semi-desert trees,” he added.
He said that the municipal government must complete the reforestation of all areas in which vegetation cover is required. The objective is to be able to have adequate oxygen production and carbon dioxide uptake.
The activists demanded to stop the construction of more concrete slabs in the park’s facilities, which prevents the capture of rainwater.
