German donation to rescue North Yaqui river

Germany is providing US$10 million to clean up and save the North Yaqui River. Some ecologists and scientists fear that the river will disappear if its contamination is not addressed immediately; the donation is intended to address this issue squarely. Implementation of the program financed by the Germans is head by the Agriculture Ministry with the participation of the Superior Agriculture Institute (ISA), the Plan Cordillera and the Cibao Ecological Society.
