Fondo Mexicano Para La Conservacion De La Naturaleza Ac

The Fondo Mexicano Para La Conservacion De La Naturaleza Ac, a conservation-focused organization, is dedicated to preserving Mexico's natural heritage by connecting with various sectors and delivering strategic financial and technical resources. The organization's mission is to conserve Mexico's natural patrimony by fostering collaboration across different sectors and providing necessary support.

The Fondo Mexicano Para La Conservacion De La Naturaleza Ac takes on numerous projects to achieve its goal. For instance, the Biodiversity Conservation in the Sierra Madre Oriental and the Gulf of Mexico (known as Sierra y Mar) project aims to strengthen the capacity of CONANP in 14 Pas. Through this project, the Fondo Mexicano Para La Conservacion De La Naturalez Ac finances the procurement of vehicles, radio communication equipment, and the placement of signs in Pas, enhancing surveillance, biological monitoring, environmental education, and visitor attention.

Moreover, the Calakmul Conservation Fund makes payments for environmental services to two ejidos of the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve, promoting the conservation of their forests. The Endangered Species Conservation Fund supports the conservation of priority species across Mexico, with community participation playing a crucial role in the protection of these species. The Protected Areas Fund (FANP) contributes to the conservation and performance of priority ecosystems, and the Fire and Restoration Management Fund (FOMAFUR) finances and strengthens fire protection and restoration actions in priority protected areas.

In addition, the Monarch Butterfly Fund works to reduce illegal logging in the monarch butterfly's winter refuge habitat, the Monte Mojino Fund ensures the conservation of the sub-deciduous and deciduous rainforest, and the Sustainable Financing for New Protected Areas project aims to ensure that new protected areas have effective management and sustainable financing strategies. The Mesoamerican Reef Conservation project strengthens marine and coastal areas, the Gulf of California Fund conserves the network of marine-coastal ecosystems, and the Marine and Coastal Monitoring project promotes the monitoring of marine protected areas to facilitate decision-making and conservation of Mexican seas.

Finally, the project Cuenca de Los Ojos aims to conserve nine private ranches certified as ADVC in northern Sonora, and Rancho El Uno operates as a nature reserve for the conservation of the grasslands of the Chihuahuan desert and its inhabitants. The Fondo Mexicano Para La Conservacion De La Naturaleza Ac's efforts extend to training university students in wildlife and grassland conservation, preparing people to incorporate regenerative approaches into their livestock practices, and promoting biodiversity monitoring activities in the region.
