Management of Natural Protected Areas

 

 

     Baja California Sur, the southern Gulf of California and the Baja California peninsula comprise one of the world’s last great wild places, a region that includes six federal Protected Natural Areas and one Municipal Reserve.  Although most operate under a management plan, each has its own challenges and goals. Our aim is to strengthen their conservation programs through the diffusion of information, the participation of resource users and local communities, and the training of protected area personnel.
