More than Monarchs Documenting Local Stories in the Disappearing Monarch Forests of Mexico Dec 29, 2006
WRITTEN FOR THE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, SEMARNAT, PROFEPA AND GOBERNACION IN MY COMMUNITY THERE ARE VARIOS LOGGERS THAT ARE DESTROYING EVERYTHING. AT FIRST THEY CHOSE THE LARGEST TREES NOW THEY JUST CUT EVERYTHING AND THE SADDEST THING IS THAT THEY ARE THE SAME LEADERS OF THE COMMUNITY, THAT THE LEADERS AND AUTHORITIES ARE THE SAME AND IT IS ASKED THAT THEY DO SOMETHING TO CONTROL THE LOGGING SO THAT OUR CHILDREN CAN HAVE SOME FOREST FOR THE DAY OF TOMORROW. BUT IF WE SEE THAT THEY, AS AUTHORITIES AND LEADERS ARE ENRICHING THEMSELVES YET OUR FOREST IS OF ALL OF OURS. I SUGGEST THAT YOU AS GOVERNMENT AGENCY COME SEE THE AREAS MOST AFFECTED, THAT THERE BE MORE FOREST VIGILANCE BECAUSE DURING THE NIGHT TIMBER IS REMOVED. THE LOGGING BEGAN IN LOMAS DE APARICIO AND NOW THEY ARE IN THE LINDERO WHICH IS CLOSE TO WHERE I LIVE. I ASK IN THE MOST RESPECTFUL MANNER THAT SOMETHING BE DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR THE GOOD OF ALL. THE BUYERS ARE NEIGHBORS OF THE COMMUNITY OF ACHO DE AGUA.WHEN THEY BEGAN TO GO TO THE FOREST TO CONTROL OR PREVENT THE LOGGING TRUCKS FROM GOING THEY HAD GROUPS BUT ARRIVING THERE THEY FOUND ON TRUCK WHICH OFERRED THEM ONE THOUSAND FIVEHUNDRED TO DIVIDE IT AMONG 13 OR 10 PEOPLE AND THERE THEY SPENT THE MONEY. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT LA DIETA AND MORE OF APARICIO. AND THE SADDEST THING IS THAT THE DRUNKS WOULD COME WITH THEIR ARGUMENTS AMONG THEM. AND THIS HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE. YEARS BEFORE THE FOREST WAS MANAGED AND TIMBER WAS NEEDED IT WAS MARKED AND THEY CHOSE THE BIG ONES BUT ALL WAS DONE IN ORDER AND IT WAS EVERY THREE YEARS THAT THE NEW COMMUNITY AUTHORITY CAME TO POWER.
