The efforts by these groups have raised the visibility of
Hispanics in the American environmental movement as of late, but
Latino leaders point out that they've long been fighting for green

immigration, and that's very bothersome to me because what happens
is you get stereotyped as only caring about a single issue, and
that's furthest from the truth,' says Muñoz. The present green
crusade can be traced back to the indigenous roots of many Latinos,
which is why Muñoz calls them 'the original environmentalists.'
