		Urban Planning and Conservation... Celebrating human interdependence with nature. Fundación la Puerta provides the Tecate border region with solid leadership in land conservation and regional planning. A major objective of the Fundación is to educate and inspire the people of Tecate to respect, preserve and celebrate their immediate natural environment. Among its major accomplishments is the first-of-its-kind binational Mount Kuchumaa Conservation Easement protecting approximately 2,000 acres/900 hectares of native plant and wildlife habitat on the U.S./Mexico border and helping to preserve the regional watershed, endangered species, and air quality. more >>
