![]() ![]() Mexico is in crisis, the social landscape of our country has diverse and serious social problems such as violence, insecurity, unemployment, lack of access to health and education of poor quality, and a serious loss of Cultural Heritage and the devastation of the ecosystems, that? so serious because Mexico is a biodiversity country, multicultural and that wonderful and amazing aspects of his great wealth are losing. They are just only two problems in which this report focuses, having hope in the youth and children because together we?e the hope of the world..!!! In many of the more remote regions of the cities still don't exist schools, much less social research on the historical-cultural heritage and biological, which results in ignorance about the environmental and the surrounding culture the biodiversity zones of México The youth sector of indigenous peoples and communities throughout Mexico are located in areas of high poverty and educational backwardness, the current problem has caused a large number of indigenous youth migrate to the United States of America, however, they?e inhabit in the most important areas for the preservation of culture and biodiversity. the linking with youth should be strengthened for the rescuing task of important figure of the indigenous worldview and the intrinsic connection with nature, as is the case of the snake as a symbol of respect and care for nature, which was framed with one of the most important deities and enigmatic animal to the prehispanic Mexico, Quetzalcoatl "the Feathered Serpent" so, this invaluable knowledge must be shared with the youth and children because they are the promoters of this philosophy as part of the local world view and thus promote their conservation to avoid extinction of the biodiversity because is urgent as it? estimated that this species will disappear in Mexico like many reptiles if we do nothing. To solve the problem of the environment is necessary promote high social impact activities and focus these actions to the indigenous youth and conserve the biodiversity and culture through productive activities that enrich their spirit, their knowledge and rebuild the part of the local worldview to strengthen the identity in the communities. The indigenous region of Mexico has worldview elements oriented to the environmental conservation and justice, honor and love, that? the reason to be rescued, with the empowered people could be change the crisis situation of the indigenous communities, By promoting actions to rescue the environment and biodiversity, it's necessary to link the care and respect for the indigenous culture and worldview because the environmental and the culture have an intrinsic nexus, the human, in the civility process always been accompanied by the nature including all elements of their environment because the human is one more element, so if we will preserve the nature, it? necessary care and respect the culture and worldview indigenous. one of my multiple activities in Biofutura A.C. (NGO) is to implement environmental education workshops in indigenous communities, in order to the rescue their worldview and culture, also care for and protect wildlife species that are endangered for the illegal traffic and hunting, in the education workshops is encouraged environmental awareness of respect, love and justice to all the plants and animals, resulting from the workshops the children and young people have become indigenous leaders in protection and conservation of the wild life and biodiversity. |
