HECHO (Hispanics Enjoying Camping, Hunting, and the Outdoors)’s Post

Our collective conservation work demands an equity lens. HECHO is proud to share the insights of a new report, “Changing the Landscape: Honoring Hispanic Heritage on Public Lands,” which amplifies Hispanic perspectives and advocates for equitable access to and representation within public lands. “We were never told that our stories mattered, and the stories of Hispanic and Latino connection to the landscape have been missing. They exist, and they need to be shared,” said Teresa Martinez, Executive Director of the Continental Divide Trail Coalition. This report, which models a community-led and community-derived model for land and water conservation, can serve as a roadmap for future conservation decisions–whether those be which public lands to preserve or how to manage public lands.
