The CAD$5million project aims to boost autonomy, resilience and equity among cattle ranching families with specific regions of Mexico and Guatemala, with south-south technical cooperation from Argentina and Costa Rica. The 4 year project aims to benefit 800 households in Mexico and 500 in Guatemala, with particular focus on women, youth and indigenous people, who are often disproportionately affected by climate change. Under a citizen science approach, the project seeks to empower local communities to improve sustainable livestock management practices and climate change adaptation, integrating remote sensing technology as a key tool to monitor and manage these challenges.

The ultimate outcome of this project is to increase the resilience and adaptive capacity of cattle ranching communities in Mexico and Guatemala in the face of climate change.
