Overview
- Semarnat, with Conanp, presented the roadmap in collaboration with WWF and the Global Environment Facility.
- Mexico aims to add at least 15 million hectares of protected areas across federal, state and municipal jurisdictions over the next five years.
- The roadmap establishes Renom, a national registry to identify, recognize, monitor and evaluate Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures.
- The initiative was shaped with participation from Indigenous and Afro‑Mexican communities, academia, civil society, youth and the private sector.
- Officials floated market-based instruments and compensation from major polluters as potential financing options, as current protection stands near 24% of marine areas and 14.4% of land.
