In 2017, a group of long-time conservation advocates and friends from Las Cruces, New Mexico came together. Tired of being tokenized in conservation and outdoor recreation spaces, they worked to create opportunities for Latinx/Hispanic borderland community members to engage with, access, and learn about public lands and waters. Two years later, Nuestra Tierra Conservation Project formally established itself as a 501(c)(3) non-profit and began to spearhead state and national-level policy work.

#ICYMI: Last Friday, we were honored to receive the 2024 Corazón de Cultura Award from the The New Mexico Hispanic Heritage Committee (NMHHC) ????. The award recognizes outstanding individuals, businesses, and nonprofits within the Hispanic community that are making a notable impact. It was inspiring to share the stage with so many doing important work for our cultura and community; the visionaries, the change makers. While we were among those being honored, Nuestra Tierra sincerely appreciates and acknowledges the NMHHC and everything it does for the conservation and preservation of our unique New Mexican Hispanic culture- especially at a time when unity matters most. On behalf of the Nuestra Tierra staff and board, our heartfelt thanks goes out to everyone involved, including the unwavering support we receive from the community. This award motivates the continuation of our vision through community building, policy and advocacy, and youth empowerment at the intersection of environmental conservation & social equity. In the words of our Executive Director, ángel Pe?a — “Conservation is the consequence of the cultivation of community!” ?????? To watch the full awards ceremony, visit: https://lnkd.in/g-PUgGDx

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Rio Grande Communities Celebration! Your support made the event a success, and we’re so grateful for the opportunity to connect with our community, enjoy great food, music, and celebrate conservation together. Let’s keep building momentum for a better future!
The public lands we love are under threat as polluters bring lawsuits and schemes to take them away from us. Public lands have historically been managed to prioritize grazing, mineral and oil extraction, logging, and other extractive uses. The BLM Public Lands rule recognizes conservation as a key component of public land management, on equal footing with other multiple uses. The rule will help safeguard healthy public lands and landscapes for current and future generations! We appreciate the Biden-Harris administration for prioritizing conservation in land management. #PublicLandsRule?#ProtectOurLands?#NewMexicoPublicLands
