Pronatura Veracruz

Place to learn about nature conservation

Sam Isidro municipality of Actopan, Ver. As of September 23, 2015 Upon notification of citizen consultation issued by Eng. Joaquín Alvarado Martínez, Secretary of the Environment of the State of Veracruz of Ignacio de la Llave, made in the official Gazette on September 4, 2015 to citizens and different areas to participate in the citizen consultation for the proposal to establish a protected natural area called Dunas de San Isidro Ecological Reserve in the municipality of Actopan, Ver. Possessionaries of the property of which they want to declare Protected Natural Areas and residents of San Isidro, we declare that it is not possible to carry out such declaration because it is we who have been working on the site reforesting and taking care of the species of animals that inhabit it , in addition to keeping our beach clean and constantly fighting to open paths to reach ourselves and people who want it. We find it difficult to believe that proposals are taken into account to carry out this action of Civil Associations such as the Institute of Ecology A.C. and PRONATURA A.C., when the Ecology Institute does not even know anyone, and PRONATURA, the only time it appeared on our land, came deceiving us by saying that they would help us to lower support programs to work and also support us for the regularization of the property. As far as we know if they lowered support using the name of the property, a support that never came to us, and that only served to PRONATURA people fill their pockets of money as it was at that time, C. Elisa Badesa Pérez who represented PRONATURA in common agreement with the mayor in turn which was once the municipal agent of San Isidro. A support that was made known to the media, and that only told us that nothing came. In addition to them they told us that we would receive their support and asked us for papers from the file that only served as information to collect data and find ways to hinder our regularization procedures. We have walked slowly before the procedures to find ourselves with obstacles as we already mentioned it have been PRONATURE besides that a company wanted to seize our lands with false writings supporting the anguish of having 2 prisoners in jail for crimes not committed just because they wanted to take over ground. PRONATURA never appeared, and it was we who sought ways to prove that our prisoners were innocent, arming ourselves with courage and proving possession, as well as continuing to work on the property. PRONATURA are liars who seek well-being for themselves, using the poverty of the peasants to make traces by inventing support projects that make them generate profits only for the interest of a few of their association. We ask PRONATURA, the Institute of Ecology, and those who are involved in this project in the most attentive way, to let us work, and move forward in our procedures, what do you want now? That declared protected natural areas to be able to dispose of the land and do business and continue enriching themselves? When we are the possessors and we are the ones who have worked for our lands and have defended them for more than 20 years. We are not willing to accept such a proposal and will continue to fight for the necessary legal means so as not to be deprived of our lands on which our families depend and the well-being of many in our town.
