Rancho Cacachilas is a complex of working ranches dedicated to long-term stewardship of land, water, and culture in the Sierra Cacachilas mountains of Baja California Sur, Mexico. We demonstrate economic models that support land and water restoration. Engaged in an innovative mosaic of activities, including ranching, regenerative agriculture, scientific research, watershed restoration, cheesemaking, and ecotourism, we utilize methodologies that are well-suited to the region’s dryland forests and arid climate.
