Asociación Micorriza is a non-profit with a team of professionals to solve the problems arising from the change of the traditional landscape. They support rural organizations through territorial analysis and management consulting and socio-ecosystem conservation through their experience in the Molina and Alto Tajo (Guadalajara) environment. With their environmental restoration projects, we are mainly working towards achieving the following SDGs:

  • Objective 6. Ensure water availability and management and sanitation for all;
  • Objective 11. Making cities more inclusive, safer, resilient and sustainable;
  • Objective 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its effects; and
  • Objective 15. Sustainably manage forests, fight desertification, stop and reverse land degradation, stop biodiversity loss.

The overall goal of this program is to preserve water-linked ecosystems (riparians and wetlands) at the Molina-Alto Tajo Geopark (Guadalajara).

The objectives of this project are:

  1. Establish graphiosis-resistant olmedas in the upper Tajo River basin;
  2. Increase the quality and quantity of water sheets, surges and sources; and
  3. Preserve fontinal ecosystems.

The actions to be taking in this program are the following:

      1. Indigenous waterfront forest revegetation, including graphiosis-resistant elms from the Program for the conservation and obtaining of graphiosis-resistant elms, dependent on the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge and with the colaboration of the Polytechnic University of Madrid, including summer maintenance with irrigation campaigns, due to weather conditions and prioritizing the following basinsAblanquejo river (Huertahernando). Old quarry restoration.
      2. Salado river (Riba de Saelices). Boxed channel restoration.
      3. Cabrillas river (Chequilla). Fire area in 2012.
    1. Recovery of sources and springs, prioritizing the recovery of effluent flows, hydraulic heritage and social use of the element.
    2. Cleaning up waste in waterways, focusing efforts on the waterways with the highest pressure for public use:
