About the Program
The FCA Saltillo Truck Assembly Plant is a vehicle assembly factory located outside of Saltillo, Mexico, in the southeastern region of the Chihuahua Desert. The plant was completed in 1995, and the site encompasses 49 acres, with most of that land containing the arid, shrubby habitat that typifies the Chihuahua Desert. The site is home to ground squirrels and many reptile species that often come into contact with employees of the plant. The site also features a pollinator garden maintained by the project team to support biodiversity in the area.

Practices and Impacts
  • In order to help support forest wildlife on the project site, the team has planted a variety of native plant species to help reforest a plot of grassland. The area is monitored annually to observe the plant species and animal wildlife present in the site.
  • The team planted succulents in recycled wood plants and hung them from building walls in order to add wildlife habitat within the built environment of the project site. The vegetation was watered with efficient drip irrigation systems, and they provide resources for a number of species of insects and butterflies.
