Join Us in Making a Difference Today
Why Calakmul Matters
​
The Calakmul jungle is the second largest in the world, after the Amazon. It’s a crucial carbon sink, teeming with biodiversity and rich with history and ancient ruins. However, the surrounding Mayan communities face extreme poverty, leading to deforestation and loss of ancestral lands.
​
Our Mission with Maya Spirits
​
Quetzalli has partnered with Maya Spirits, a dedicated initiative aimed at preserving the Calakmul jungle and empowering the indigenous Mayan communities.
​
Together, we are:
-
Providing Financial Stability: Purchasing 100-hectare parcels from Mayan single mothers for the equivalent of 34 years of salary, lifting them out of "survival mode."
-
Offering Education and Connectivity: Building a computer lab and offering free educational programs to connect children with the world.
-
Preserving the Jungle: Protecting 4,000 hectares of the Calakmul jungle.
-
Creating Sustainable Jobs: Establishing endemic Melipona bee hives, creating jobs for Mayan women, and selling highly medicinal honey.
​
Our Progress So Far
​
-
10 Women supported with financial stability.
-
1,000 Hectares of jungle preserved.
