WE LIVE IN A GEOPARK!
This was the title of the talk and workshop held with the community and members of the El Puente Ejidal Committee in Mineral del Chico. Mineral del Chico is home to six Geosites recognized by UNESCO for their international geological significance. One of them is the El Milagro Mining Works, located in the community of El Puente. This talk allowed for a collective reflection on the importance of inhabiting, caring for, and valuing our territory through the core values of the Geopark. We would like to thank the Ejidal Commissioner, Claudia Patricia Aguilar, for her collaboration in developing this activity, as well as all the attendees for their participation.
