Sonora and Mexico City will strengthen the exchange of experiences related to the conservation, restoration, and management of urban forests. The partnership also seeks to promote the creation of a national network of urban parks and facilitate collaboration between environmental authorities, specialists and institutions to improve the conservation and management of green spaces in cities.
Clara Brugada, Mexico City Mayor, and Alfonso Durazo, Governor, Sonora, signed a collaboration agreement to promote the exchange of experiences, technical knowledge and environmental management strategies focused on the conservation, restoration, and management of urban forests, with particular emphasis on the development of Bosque La Sauceda and Bosque de Chapultepec.
During the event, held at Chapultepec Forest, Brugada highlighted that the agreement will help consolidate an ongoing exchange between both governments to strengthen the management of urban forests and advance the creation of a national collaboration network that promotes the conservation of these strategic spaces for environmental balance and quality of life.
The Center for Ecological Research and Forest Applications of the University of Barcelona defines an urban forest as a large collection of trees, shrubs and herbaceous vegetation found in cities. These spaces provide environmental services such as the absorption of ultraviolet radiation and glare, the reduction of wind intensity, high temperatures, heat waves and noise pollution, as well as the capture and reduction of air pollutants.
