Primavera Forest has more than 800 owners

The Guadalajara metro area’s green lung, the Bosque de la Primavera, a natural area protected from development by a 1980 presidential decree, has just over 800 owners, including 421 private property owners, about 400 communal agrarian users (ejiditarios) and the state government.

Local news media takes a stand

Local print and broadcast journalists take part in a demonstration in Guadalajara’s  Parque Revolucionario Sunday to draw attention to the ongoing climate of violence that has seen more than 140 of their colleagues killed or “disappear” in the past decade in Mexico.
