The Tuxtlas, famous for its magnificent environment, is also the hunting territory for 100´s of predators
making a living off well meaning research institutions and governments.
While researching Los Tuxtlas I am constantly amazed by the number of organizations and dollars/pesos
expended on activities in Los Tuxtlas.
By now, I would expect Los Tuxtlas to be paved in gold, with every inhabitant driving a large size
imported vehicle.
Although that´s apparent in a few instances, the rest of the Tuxtlas is as usual, totally impoverished,
with thousands stretching for hand outs.
Anecdotally:
a known catemaco biologists reams international fund for dinero, buys late model SUV
and plants a handful of trees.
Perhaps that´s an extreme, but considering the monies that have been spent on Los Tuxtlas,
I do keep wondering where it went.
If you care, below are some starting points.
