Honoring Roberto Viqueira Ríos' Legacy

Donation protected
Roberto Viqueira Ríos tragically died in July leaving behind a void in his community and his family. Roberto was a champion of social justice and environmental conservation in Puerto Rico. His legacy is extensive and a model for how local communities can work together to restore their environment while providing opportunities for the next generation of environmental scientists in Puerto Rico. Despite the many obstacles he faced he believed in the power of community and the importance of conserving the sacred spaces in Puerto Rico. And for that we are thankful ❤️

Roberto is leaving behind his family, including his 3 children ages 20, 17, and 15. Securing their future and providing them opportunities has been his primary focus. We are creating this funding opportunity to ensure that his legacy for his children can continue in the future. In particular, Beatriz, Elías, and Mariana are either in college or soon planning to enter college. The funds provided here will support them in their pursuit of their post-graduation dreams. This is what Roberto would want more than anything.

We thank you for your consideration and contributions.
