The Upper Pecos Watershed Association (UPWA) was formed in July of 2006 to address non-point source pollution and related issues in the Pecos River watershed. UPWA is a community-based grass-roots organization, whose charter is to protect and improve the health of the watershed; address significant ecological, and environmental issues in the watershed; preserve traditional and cultural uses and to benefit the local economy.
UPWA is the watershed’s coordinator for all the public and private entities with interests in the watershed; including the National Park Service, Forest Service, NM Department of the Environment, NM Department of Game and Fish, NM Departments of Parks, San Miguel County, Village of Pecos, advocacy groups as well as the numerous private landowners in the watershed.
Generation Human Rights (GenHR) engages youth locally and globally through multidisciplinary curricula and custom education programs that empower youth to chart a world free from human rights abuse and genocide. GenHR works with youth in their classrooms and in refugee settings, post-conflict zones, and in the wake of natural disasters. GenHR's staff bring years of experience, expertise, and passion, providing educators with professional development training and open-sourced human rights educational materials. The core mission of GenHR’s work is to guide youth to understand and process profound world events directly affecting their lives.
