Ecobreves – MEXICO: Green Horseback Ride

MEXICO CITY, Dec 5 2005 (IPS) - On horseback and bearing a message of respect for the environment and cultural diversity, a group of people is traveling across Mexico, reviving a sort of nomadic life.

“We are visiting different countries to share a message in favor of nature and setting the example of a communal way of life, free, adventuresome and respectful of the Earth,” Kareen Kohn, an Israeli and leader of the group Nomads United, told Tierramérica.

The group, created in 1998 and comprising 60 people, arrived in Mexico this year for their trek through rural areas, during which they hope to promote peaceful coexistence, organic farming and complete respect for the environment.

To finance their activities, the group, which includes several artists, gives presentations in multicultural dance and other circus-like shows. Connect to www.nomadsunited.com to learn more.
