Instituto de la Naturaleza y la Sociadad de Oaxaca: INSO

Instituto de la Naturaleza y la Sociadad de Oaxaca (Institute for Nature and Society of Oaxaca) was founded in 1991 to support Oaxacan communities with their social and ecological initiatives in Mexico.

It is based on a principle of viewing nature and society as inseparable and works in a collaborative way which aims to be inclusive of all.

For the last decade INSO has been developing its Slow Water initiative which works to regenerate the natural and social fabric of the Central Valley´s Watershed. This involves a number of projects and activities including demonstrative permaculture programs, creek restoration, public education and the creation of Water Forum which allows for better collaboration between the communities, NGOs, research institutions, government and private sector.
