Por ser la tradición religiosa y cultural más importante del occidente de México, La Romería, —celebrada desde el año 1734— fue declarada el 29 de noviembre de 2018 patrimonio cultural inmaterial de la humanidad durante la xiii sesión del Comité Intergubernamental para la Salvaguarda del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la unesco, reunido en la Ciudad de Port Louis, República de Mauricio, en África. La "Lista Representativa" es un mérito más del inmenso legado que México aporta al mundo, pues con ella el país suma ya nueve elementos de innegable valor que nos distinguen entre todas las naciones del mundo como una de excepcionales riquezas artísticas. Con esta declaratoria internacional, iniciamos una nueva historia para seguir preservando, fomentando y enriqueciendo esta tradición que nos llena de identidad.

Novela romantica en la que los personajes principales son mujeres cuyas vidas, de una u otra forma, son regidas por las reglas sociales y las decisiones que toman los hombres de su círculo familiar. Una tarde de sábado Carolina es abordada por su abuela, quien comienza a revelarle la verdad sobre sus antepasados. Esta narración se extiende por meses, y en ella se intercalan hechos que ocurrieron hace unos cien años con otros más recientes, cuando la abuela era joven. Así, se crean dos historias paralelas sobre la misma familia, separadas en el tiempo y el espacio. Cada suceso revelado, cada hecho explicado es una verdadera revelación para Carolina, quien no conocía nada del pasado de su familia. Y a la vez es como una confesión de la abuela, quien se libera de la carga de tantos secretos.

The destruction of the tropical forests continues rapidly. We all know that this has global, ecological and economic consequences. The problem is of such magnitude that it can only be compared to warfare. The destruction of tropical forests is both detrimental to the global ecology as well as posing a serious threat to the people living in these areas. Furthermore, the overutilization of such a valuable resource poses a serious threat to the next generations. Besides the problem generated for the people in these regions, and for the earth in general, there is a moral obligation to preserve the vast biological diversity in the tropical forests. We have a commitment to all species on earth as well as man and, therefore, need to preserve as many as possible, if not all. This book discusses the problem from different angles: from forestry, ecology and nature conservation. The two main problem areas are: first the wise utilization of that portion of the forest which will be used - especially the introduction of planned forestry in such areas and second the development of a good plan for nature conservation in the tropics.
