400 nursery workers have already committed to participating in this plan, which seeks to strengthen community involvement in environmental protection and consolidate a national network of environmental defenders.
“The intention is to have environmental defenders who can contribute to the establishment of 2,000 community nurseries,” stated Molina, while presenting the progress report of the Great Mother Earth Mission to President Nicolás Maduro.
Among the key achievements, the minister reported that a scientific update of the status of the 44 national parks was completed, which will allow for the design of a structured, comprehensive, and systemic plan for their conservation and maintenance. Additionally, the Watershed Operations Committee was formed, tasked with identifying priority areas for reforestation and environmental intervention.
Regarding disaster prevention, Molina noted that 428 community risk maps were created, developed directly by the communities themselves.
“Every community needs to have its own risk map to know how to respond, what the vulnerabilities are in their territory, and what affects downstream areas,” he explained, with the goal of reaching 5,336 maps nationwide.
Another significant milestone is the design of community weather stations, in partnership with the “Humberto Fernández Morán” Science and Technology Mission. “We already have the design, and we will manufacture them in 2026, using local science and technology,” the Minister of Ecosocialism affirmed.
Furthermore, he highlighted the progress made in combating the illegal wildlife trade, with 66 cases reported and resolved, actions aimed at protecting the nation’s biodiversity.
