Efforts to restore and sanitize the Atoyac River in Puebla, Mexico, have transitioned from local reforestation initiatives to a broader national sanitation strategy. Initially, municipal officials in Cuautlancingo led the “Raíces para el Futuro” program, planting 300 endemic tree species along the riverbanks to support ecosystem recovery and aquifer recharge. This local action was framed as part of the National Water Plan. Subsequently, the project expanded into a larger national initiative involving multiple agencies, including the National Water Commission (CONAGUA) and PROFEPA. This phase aligns with President Claudia Sheinbaum’s ‘Commitment 92’ to sanitize the country’s three most polluted rivers. The strategy has evolved to include not only waste removal and reforestation but also long-term wastewater management through the implementation of collectors and treatment plants. Recent developments show continued momentum in Puebla, where authorities and local communities are actively participating in a national cleaning and reforestation campaign for the Atoyac River. This ongoing action remains a key component of the federal commitment to remediate the nation's most polluted waterways.
