In 2018, InHerit received a grant from the National Geographic Society for a collaborative cultural heritage education project with public secondary schools in Yucatec Maya communities and students and faculty from the Universidad de Oriente (UNO) in Valladolid, Mexico. The project focused on cenotes, or limestone solution sinkholes, that have provided fresh water to communities in the region for centuries. Developing innovative, sustainable, and interactive educational programs that explore the geomorphology, oral history, cultural and archaeological heritage of cenotes, our program motivates youth ages 11-15 to be proactive in cenote conservation efforts in their communities!
