Xochitla Foundation: an oasis amidst State of Mexico's asphalt jungle

Xochitla Foundation

is a Mexican NGO founded in 1989, as result of the vision of Mexican businessman and philanthropist Manuel Arango .

Located only 60 minutes northwest of Mexico City, Xochitla stands as a 172-acre oasis amidst major industrial parks in the State of Mexico, with the mission to privately preserve and operate a substantial green area for the benefit of present and future generations.

The foundation is a self-sustaining project supported by the operation of Xochitla Ecological Park , which offers both recreational and ecological activities for the whole of the family all year round.

Xochitla Foundation champions the environmental cause with the presentation of the annual Xochitla Award , environmental education projects , as well as fostering fair trade for local producers through product fairs and festivals.

Regarded as an Ark of Biodiversity , Xochitla Foundation is tasked with preserving both endangered and already extinct botanical species native of Mexico inside the Xochitla Ecological Park.
