We are also nature

Human beings need other living beings to survive. Our future depends on our ensuring the ongoing regeneration of other species. Throughout millennia, persistently observing and experimenting with the species we share our planet with has led to numerous cultural practices that help maintain resources for future generations. This explains, for instance, why the natural deep-water sinkholes (cenotes) in the Yucatan Peninsula abound in species useful to human beings or that the Lacandon indigenous people devotedly continue to steward more than fifty species in their rainforests. The survival of certain species, such as corn, thus depends on human beings. In turn, humans know that the synergy of combining corn, squash, and beans leads to increased production and nutrition. The connection with other species emerges from the understanding humans achieve regarding these other realms. This link is currently at stake.

Juan José Hess
Juan José Hess

TESTIMONY

Juan José Hess Coordinator of the Valle de Jovel Watershed Committee in Chiapas and beneficiary of the Watersheds and Cities project. “What was most important [about the project] was the technical assistance and backstopping, which has led to interinstitutional solidarity. The importance of watersheds to cities and the appreciation that city dwellers have for [learning about] the territory, which [provides] multiple environmental services, both play an essential role.” Slide
Mélina Soto
Mélina Soto

TESTIMONY

Mélina Soto Coordinator for the Healthy Reefs Initiative - Mexico and beneficiary of the Mesoamerican Reef Conservation project. “One of the important aspects of this project is to revive hope. The information we receive regarding reefs is increasingly discouraging and may be forecasting an uncertain and gloomy future. Being able to recover such important genetic information and generate new organisms that can return to the reef gives us hope and encouragement to continue caring for and restoring our ecosystems.” Slide
Rosalía Andrade
Rosalía Andrade

TESTIMONY

Rosalía Andrade Co-founder of Resiliencia Azul, A.C., a non-profit organization selected to participate in the Kaanbal Suut project in 2021. “Kaanbal Suut provided many things: employment and partnership networks and the ability to jointly integrate projects that can become more sustainable, not only technically, but also in terms of finances and communication.” Slide
Yecenia García
Yecenia García

TESTIMONY

Yecenia García Member of the monitoring brigade at Morro Ayuta Beach, Oaxaca and FONCER beneficiary. “Our community has an Olive ridley sea turtle nesting beach. In the past, the villagers were not involved in their conservation. As work has progressed, the plunder of nests has decreased. The villagers are learning about the turtles and are becoming aware that they must be preserved.”

Cross-Cutting Issues

In 2021, FMCN provided support to the work carried out by regional funds operating and supervising FMCN projects in specific areas of Mexico. The Fund for the Conservation of the Neovolcanic Belt, a non-profit organization, for instance, has been coordinating the Monarch Butterfly Fund since 2020. The Gulf of Mexico Fund (Fondo Golfo de México, A.C.), and FONNOR (the Northwestern Fund) will provide support to the local coordination of the CONECTA and RÍOS projects, while the El Triunfo Conservation Fund (Fondo de Conservación El Triunfo, A.C) will provide support to the CONECTA project. A non-profit fund called Sustainable Southeast (Sureste Sostenible, A.C.) was created in 2020. This fund has been operating the AKK, Kaanbal Suut, and MAR-L projects as of 2022.

Parallel to this, biodiversity monitoring plays an essential role in many FMCN projects. Through developing monitoring protocols and information systems, projects financed by FMCN can influence territorial planning and management, conservation activities, and natural resource management, as well as the training of those in charge of biodiversity monitoring and advising. These efforts include the National Biodiversity Monitoring System, a community biodiversity monitoring protocol (Biocomuni), and the Ecosystemic Monitoring System for Protected Areas.

FMCN is committed to environmental sustainability, human rights, and gender equality. We adhere to the best international practices and have ten Social and Environmental Safeguards (SESs). These SESs help us to evaluate, prevent, manage and mitigate any social and environmental risks associated with the projects that we design, execute or finance. Thanks to the implementation of these SESs, we have improved the decision-making, performance, and outcome of the projects we support.
