Mesoamerica & Western Caribbean
How Will We Get There?
Our strategies include:
- Generate detailed assessments of the status of threats to Mesomerica using remote sensing data and the Human Footprint methodology.
- Assess the effectiveness of park management and law enforcement in each of our priority landscapes in the region and help enact improvements.
- Study and contribute to more effective interventions related to fire, climate change mitigation, road building, large-scale cattle ranching, oil palm plantations, small holder agriculture, conservation of select species, and human well being.
- Establish formal and privileged relationships and targeted collaborations with key universities and conservation training organizations to train and mentor young professionals who contribute to the conservation agenda in the region.
- Develop standardized protocols for the precise monitoring and evaluation of jaguar, Baird's tapir, white-lipped peccary, and scarlet macaw populations over the long term.
- Encourage the adoption of standardized protocols for priority landscapes in five key areas: wildlife populations, habitat integrity, management capacity and law enforcement, quality of human life, and natural resource governance.
