Amigos del Pandeño

Its mission is to conserve and protect the Natural Heritage of the people of Julimes, Chihuahua, with special emphasis on the micro-endemic aquatic fauna which distribution range is restricted to “El Pandeño” hotspring.

Through its Technical Council, Amigos del Pandeño supports scientific research and a Vital Signs Monitoring Program that informs management decision making processes that are related to the natural resources of Julimes.

Amigos del Pandeño also intervenes in water policy advocating for implementation of an environmental flow regime for the Rio Conchos Basin.

In 2012, in partnership with Pronatura Noreste, the WWF and SEMARNAT, Amigos del Pandeño began implementing a water saving project which includes monitoring and upgrading of the Julimes irrigation network.
