Researchers

My passion is writing, and I have been creating stories and teaching about environmental education for the past ten years. I used to work with fishermen in sea turtle conservation but I realized it was hard to find sustainability in the fishing industry and that is when I discovered and started to work with native women from the agricultural regions and ejidos of the Magdalena Bay Region in Comondú municipality. Their livelihood was not one with tractors and heavy machinery in acres of land. Their livelihood was about creating good soil conditions and selecting proper seeds to be able to have orchards of mango and avocado, grapes and limes in the middle of the desert. But not only that, old women, like Feliciana Osuna, 85 years old, was born before electricity arrived the region so she inherit knowledge about food preservation with out the use of refrigeration, such as candy, marmalades, beef jerky, creating lime with old manure and clam shells… That kind on knowledge is the one I include in my stories, and use it to teach my actual workshop for children on Composting and Cero Waste practices.
