Resilience in Puerto Rico

After devastating hurricanes in Puerto Rico, Sustainability & Social Justice Professor Ramón Borges-Méndez co-founds Fundación Bucarabón, a nonprofit organization supporting women, farmers, and community economic empowerment initiatives in Maricao, a town in mountainous, western part of the island. The foundation’s goal is to “build back better,” ensuring residents can survive — even thrive — in the face of future disasters.
