From hiking and camping to community roundtables and film screenings, these activities promote conservation efforts in their community and provide an opportunity for Latine/x/a/o community members and leaders to show their support for permanently protecting our land, water, and air.

Yo Cuento means "I count.", "I matter.", and "I tell a story."
Storytelling is a vital part of the conservation movement. Our stories help shape policy, change hearts and minds, and preserve and conserve our histories. Our stories allow us to see ourselves reflected in the things we love.
We invite you to celebrate and share the stories of Latino Conservation Week, from 9/14 - 9/22.

Water holds profound cultural and historical significance para nuestra gente. From our ancestral connection to the land to our reliance on water for food, it's a precious resource we must protect. From the streams and the watersheds to the rivers and the oceans, water is life.
Agua es vida.

Our youth are leading the fight against climate change! 💥 Let's join them in taking action. From reusing everyday items as much as possible to taking shorter showers and minimizing our waste to writing our elected officials to demand climate action, there are steps we can all take to protect nuestro clima!

Latine/x leaders have a proud legacy of being powerful advocates for justice, equality, and the well-being of our communities. From civil rights to environmental justice, we've been at the forefront of social and global movements and we're not stopping now. ✊🏽

Our stories are powerful tools for change.
By sharing our experiences, we can challenge harmful stereotypes, expand and grow positive representation, and inspire others to take action as we work toward a safer, more inclusive, and sustainable world.
We are all storytellers and our stories need to be told.
