Xochimilco is a natural water catchment area for the Mexico City aquifer; 70% of the water we consume comes from this area and such dependence has created the sinking of the chinampas and a shortage of water since it has been captured from its origins in the upper part of the sub-basin. Climate change has exacerbated this situation and currently, the corn producers of San Mateo Xalpa and the producers of the chinampas, lack the necessary water for their crops. On the other hand, in chinampas, the diffuse and punctual contamination by fecal bacteria is exacerbated by low water levels and the lack of toilets for agricultural producers. Therefore, this campaign seeks to help them through the installation of dry toilets, rainwater harvesting systems, water filters, and/or drip irrigation systems that make water use more efficient.

The work in the chinampas requires constancy and implies attending to not only the crops but also the canals, the banks of the chinampas, recovering the soil with nitrate, pruning the Ahuejotes to rid them of the plague, mistletoe, reforestation, etc. That is why we have organized volunteers with civil society, to come to the aid of the producers of the chinampas of Xochimilco and San Gregorio Atlapulco and support them during a day of work, as they require. This campaign aims to support the financing of these volunteers, which implies offering a snack, water, and gasoline for the transfer in the Association's trajinera, when required.

One of REDES's greatest successes has been offering training to agricultural producers in agroecological cultivation techniques, soil chromatography, installation of eco-technologies, administration, distribution of their products, marketing, biological pest control, business formation, as part of the various projects we have carried out. However, a greater frequency of courses and workshops is required, in order to train more producers, not only from San Gregorio Atlapulco, but also from neighboring municipalities such as Tláhuac and Milpa Alta, at no cost. For this reason, we are starting a new stage in the Training area and we have rented a location in San Gregorio Atlapulco, which will also allow us to offer workshops and courses open to the public, which to a certain extent cover part of the workshops for producers, but it is insufficient. Therefore, this Campaign seeks to strengthen this work, in such a way that annually we can train at least 100 producers in various subjects.

The Xochimilco axolotl is an emblematic species for the Valley of Mexico, where it has lived since the geological formation of the basin. It has been a delicacy of emperors and the traditional culinary delight of Xochimilco. It is the top species in the wetland food chain and to date offers incredible puzzles that science has not yet been able to decipher, such as its tissue and organ regeneration properties, or its resistance to disease. However, it is in critical danger of extinction. Its habitat is being fragmented, the water temperature has increased due to deforestation, and its reproductive cycle is affected. There is not enough oxygen or quality food to help him overcome the first weeks of life and he is also poached for the black market, despite being a protected species(SEMARNAT NOM-059). In the REDES didactic Chinampa, we have carried out research and currently carrying out habitat recovery actions with native aquatic plants, in order to promote food niches and improving water oxygenation. This research is carried out in two sites in Xochimilco, in order to compare the effectiveness of the actions in different areas of the wetland. This Campaign seeks to support these efforts through dissemination campaigns and support students to help us with monitoring and maintainance of the refuges
