Living conditions are deteriorating, particularly in the community of Malinaltepec: Excessive deforestation &#8211; including for land reclamation for livestock farming &#8211; is severely damaging the forests. The consequences are an increased risk of earthquakes and landslides, migration to the cities and a break-up of the village communities.  <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Our project contributes to the social and ecological resilience of indigenous communities in the face of climate change.
