Help us Save Our WATER

Become an Earth Protector and help us establish a natural protected area along the Medina River Valley.

Imagine a vast area where buffalo roam free along the prairie lands.

Helping to restore biodiversity by simply existing. Yes, this is true.

Bison are a keystone species, and where they have been reintroduced, native vegetation seems to grow in more abundance.

More native vegetation means more water retention, which means a healthier Edwards Aquifer.

Help us save San Antonio from drying up and dying.

What we do! and how we do it!

Eco-Restoration

We partner with Indigenous communities, trusted experts, and landowners to protect and rehabilitate life on our Earth.

Think. Restoring wetlands from outdated flood planning infrastructure or overdevelopment.

Funding for great organizations

As we develop more donors and generate revenue, we will help amazing organizations with funding to help them expand successful projects around the world.

think of divers restoring coral reefs, botanists planting mangroves, conservationists rehabilitating endangered wildlife, and more

Indigenous Sovereignty

As our projects increase in scope, we wish to always include and empower the local Indigenous peoples.

Think. sharing space and time so that Indigenous peoples can lead the way, and continue cultural practices safely and sustainably.

Clean & healthy Foodways

We also wish to partner with local municipalities & cities to foster a healthier culture around nature and our food.

We wish to fund and build clean and healthy locally produced foodways to help lessen the impact of the globalized and centralized food industry.

think. Apples that you consume after picking them yourself in a tree nearby, rather than buying an apple at the supermarket from halfway around the world.

What is the problem?

Today, the Medina River Valley, like most areas around San Antonio, is industrial agricultural land. Basically deserts

Naturally, this region should be fertile and rich in biodiversity.

But it is a desert today.

Used to produce corn, wheat, and sorghum.

Mono-cultural farming has degraded the soils to such poor conditions, filled with artificial fertilizers and pesticides.

These desert-like conditions have resulted in higher chances of drought for San Antonio.

Our Solution

Yes, we can restore these lands if we work together!

We believe that if we can organize and work together, we can restore the biodiversity and increase vegetation and water retention in the soil.

We believe that this will result in a phenomenon called perspiration.

Plants sweat. yes!

And when they sweat, it creates humidity and higher chances of rainfall.

The higher the density of plant life, the more likely you are to see rainfall.

It began with a dream

Alexander Goco Barrera

Founder & CEO

Years ago, I was a boy living in despot, hopelessness, poverty, violence, a world the system designed for people like me, but rather than accepting that reality, I rebelled. I have always been a dreamer, and so I dreamt of a beautiful life.

I recall one such dream. Enveloped in total darkness, there was a small flame. Cold, dark, empty, but this flame illuminated what it could. It gave warmth, what it could.

Over time, the flame grew larger, brighter, warmer, and more flames would appear and join. Eventually, the flames collectively overcame the void.

This dream was always a symbol of my passion and love. A passion to do good for this world. to make it just a little bit better and to find others like me who wish to do the same.

Goco Goes was founded on this principle.

My name is Alexander, and I am a lifelong believer in what is right. I became a diplomatic civil servant in the hopes of fostering peace between nations. After the Pandemic, I founded gocogoes.com to take his passion for peace and friendship global.

Join me, let’s work together and create real change!
