Merida is getting hotter and flooding more often as native trees disappear. We will grow 10,000 native tree seedlings in our community nursery to restore shade, absorb rainwater, and protect vulnerable neighborhoods. Each tree is climate-adapted and locally grown for long-term survival. Your support helps turn seeds into cooling canopies and build a more resilient future for Merida.
Merida faces rising temperatures, stronger tropical storms, and increasing urban flooding. Rapid development has reduced native tree cover, leaving neighborhoods exposed to extreme heat and poor water absorption. Many families live in areas with little shade and limited climate protection. Without restoring native vegetation, the city's vulnerability to heat stress and flooding will continue to grow.
This project will strengthen local climate resilience by producing 10,000 native tree seedlings in our community nursery. Seeds will be collected locally and grown under careful supervision to ensure strong, climate-adapted trees. These seedlings will supply reforestation efforts in vulnerable neighborhoods, schools, and community spaces, increasing canopy cover and long-term environmental stability.
Producing 10,000 native trees builds the foundation for long-term urban restoration. As these trees are planted and mature, they will reduce heat, absorb rainwater, improve air quality, and restore habitat for native species. Strengthening local nursery production ensures continuous, community-based climate action for years to come.
