Individualists Tending to the Wild (Spanish: Individualistas Tendiendo a lo Salvaje, ITS) is a self-defined eco-extremist[5] group that emerged in Mexico in 2011.[6][7] The Mexican authorities have attributed some violent actions to it, but most of the attacks claimed by the group have been denied after judicial investigations and attributed to other groups or crimes other than terrorism. The lack of a task of contrasting information by the media has led to any violent action claimed by ITS reaching public opinion.[8][9][10]
