The adoption of a tree in San Pedro Martyr is done through a financial contribution, which ranges from five hundred to five thousand US dollars, depending on the size of the tree you want to adopt. The larger the size, the greater the contribution. You can also select the species you want, whether it is one of the three species of pine, fir or cedar. The trees that have been selected are mature specimens whose base thickness and height have been measured; they have been photographed individually; Its location and geographical position have been documented. The contribution for the adoption is made only once. The donor is asked to name the tree with an alias, or nickname, and is given a photograph of it. The conservation organization "Reforestamos México" issues the corresponding tax-deductible receipt with the donor's tax information. If you wish to commit to this effort by adopting a tree in this program, Sentinels of San Pedro Martyr, please send an email to contacto@reforestamos.org indicating your interest in doing so.

Recent Patricio´s
Extinction Rituals work.

If you google the word snare, these wired devices that are use to capture wild animals, to feed the bushmeat market in Africa and Asia. Brutal photographs will be presented on your screen, of wounded lionesses, hippos, tigers, elephants, zebras, giraffes, leopards and many more large and small wild creatures, images that could crush your heart and deeply disturb your mind.

 

These two bronze sculptures, Hippo, snare series I, and Hippo, snare series II, speak about this heartless practice with one of Africa´s iconic mammals.

 

Male Lion, snare series. Using a real African snare, confiscated from poachers in the African bush, this bronze sculpture dramatizes the brutal assault to nature most emblematic mammal, the lion.

 

African Buffalo, Patricio´s recreated in this bronze sculpture, the agony of a wounded African Buffalo, using a real pair of horns of a large male.  He previously cut a set of iron plates and weld them for this piece.

 

3 Wolves. This elusive predator has always been a threat to our livestock, we have cursed, trapped, chase and killed them for millennia. We stake them high, to express our disgust, fear, and the notion of not being wanted in our world.

 

Nature´s Screm. The puma, mountain lion or cougar, is one of the largest cats in the American continent. A very secretive creature, and a powerful symbol of wild nature. This bronze sculpture with six puma skulls, is a wild cry for the loss of wild lands and with it, the spirit of a continent.
