Five Ejidos Seek Alliance to Protect Chichankanab Lagoon in José María Morelos

José María Morelos, Quintana Roo — Ejidal representatives from five communities in this municipality are working to build an alliance aimed at protecting the Chichankanab hydrological basin, preventing pollution of its lagoon and coordinating on territorial defense.

The proposal would bring together Bulukax, Dziuché, Kantemó, La Presumida and San Diego, with the goal of forming a committee that strengthens cooperation among the communities, according to Concepción Alamilla, the ejidal commissioner of Bulukax.

“I invite you to hold your assembly, to call it so that we can resolve this problem, because there are disputes related to the Chichankanab hydrological basin and also in Bulukax,” Alamilla said.

Mario Góngora, secretary of the ejidal commission, said the primary objective is conserving the region’s natural resources and protecting its wildlife.

“This is about uniting the ejidos to protect the hydrological basin of the Chichankanab lagoon. That is the main objective: to prevent its contamination and preserve all the wildlife,” he said.

Under the initiative, the ejidos would share information and coordinate efforts on common problems while keeping their autonomy and their authority to make decisions through their own assemblies.
