Greening the Mexican Desert - UNDP Nature
In the parched communities of the Mixteca region’s desert fringe, along the Western border of Mexico’s Oaxaca state, the wait for the rainy season feels interminable. The realization that rains are becoming scarcer and less reliable is particularly sobering at the end of spring, a critical time in this region: it is not only the hottest, but also the driest time of year, marking the end of the long dry season, as most rains in Oaxaca come during the summer.
