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.

  • Computer Lab built and operational.

​

Our goal is to buy 3,000 more hectares and establish more Melipona bee hives.

​

Your donation can help us achieve these goals and create lasting change for the Calakmul jungle and its communities. Every dollar matters.
