New road for Las Parcelas
The locals had a problem. The river running through our
reserve flooded the poorly designed road each wet season
and washed out their only road access. The solution had
been to open our reserve area to allow them to cross.

In addition to the inconvenience and often
impassible problems created for the locals, the
traffic would wreak havoc on our river and
ultimately the wildlife.
The river was threatened as was our reserve.
The river bed was
constantly being
damaged by the
traffic and the
trash!
We were able to buy additional land in the area,
move a campesino and his house to a new parcel of
land (and a nice little cash bonus for his efforts)
and create the new road with the help of the mayor.
The new road is open year round
and our reserve is now truly
protected!
