		<description><![CDATA[After a silence as pregnant as his gaze, the Indian ends up talking: &#34;They come; they kill the trees and afterwards we have to choose: either we leave our lands or we stay to grow their drugs.&#34; The region with the richest biodiversity in North America is located in Mexico&#39;s far north, at 1420 meters [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The federal government launched ProArbol amid much fanfare back in
January 2007. Through this ambitious program, the country would
replant hundreds of millions of trees, reverse environmental
degradation and arrest rampant deforestation. ProArbol also promised
to pull some of the country&#8217;s most marginalized communities out of
poverty. But two years on, the program is plagued by corruption, poor
planning and a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mexico leads the world in community management of forests for the
commercial production of timber. Yet this success story is not widely
known, even in Mexico, despite the fact that communities around the
globe are increasingly involved in managing their own forest
resources. To assess the achievements and shortcomings of Mexico&#8217;s
community forest management programs and to offer approaches that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unlike most parrot species which live in tropical habitats at low
elevation, are sedentary or short distance migrants and are
territorial, Thick-billed Parrots Rhynchopsitta pachyrhyncha live
above 1500m in temperate forests, are migratory and nomadic in winter
when food becomes short, and are social at all seasons.

Sierra Madre [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Porfirio Baños takes the measure of the chicozapote tree that he is
about to tap for its resin. He winds a rope around himself and the
tall, straight trunk that stretches towards a glimpse of sky through
the foliage above. He starts to climb. &#8220;I started following my dad
