The goal was fulfilled earlier than expected, but the reforestation effort has not stopped, they continue in the city, so that at the end of this administration 80,000 trees will be planted and “thus getting closer to the nine square meters of green area per inhabitant recommended by the World Health Organization”.
This is one of the actions taken to reduce the effects of climate change and complement it with the elaboration of the Urban Tree Inventory, which allows accurate information on the health of the trees in Mérida to be adequately addressed.
They were informed about other actions carried out in terms of sustainability, including the placement of solar panels in administrative buildings and also in the City Hall.
