Milton has spent his whole life in Finca Guadalupe and was born in the hacienda. One of the main goals throughout the Finca is to work on preserving natural biodiversity on the island and one of the biggest responsibilities of the hacienda is to restore biodiversity and freshwater sources. Freshwater on the island is really scarce with only one known freshwater lake so it is important for smaller communities to focus on water conservation. See full post here.
