Rancho Los Ángeles, located in Saltillo in Mexico, is committed to environmental stewardship and community action. This experimental ranch is run by the Antonio Narro Agrarian Autonomous University (Universidad Autónoma Agraria Antonio Narro) with a view to inspire the surrounding ranching community to make conservation a priority in their operations.
The ranch is careful not to overgraze and uses rotational grazing systems to ensure equal distribution of cattle on the land. The ranch approaches biodiversity conservation from a community level and aims to have healthy plant communities to ensure high quality forage, and a resilient ecosystem.
