Pronatura Península de Yucatán
The Nature Conservancy's primary partners in the Yucatán are the non-governmental organization Pronatura Península de Yucatán, A.C. (PPY) and the Mexican National Commission for Natural Protected Areas (CONANP). Founded by a group of dedicated volunteers in 1985, PPY is a non-profit conservation organization affiliated with the Mexico City-based Pronatura, A.C. PPY's mission is to conserve the flora, fauna and priority ecosystems of the Yucatán Península and promote the development of society in harmony with nature in the Yucatán Península. PPY works in three geographic areas which represent the Yucatán Peninsula's greatest biodiversity: the coastal zone, focusing in the Ría Celestún and Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserves, on the coast of the southern states of Campeche, Quintana Roo and Yucatán; the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve, in the Maya Forest Region in the south of the state of Campeche; and Punta Laguna, a spider monkey sanctuary located in the state of Quintana Roo, where PPY works closely with a traditional Mayan community. PPY is a science-based organization which applies environmental education to influence different sectors of society. PPY also works closely with government reserve management, while seeking to create successful conservation and sustainable resource use models that can be assimilated and applied by local community members in the Península. PPY's high-level board of governors, drawn from the Yucatán's and Campeche's private sector and academia, supports the organization's experienced field staff of biologists and community extensionists to achieve tangible gains for wildlife conservation and habitat protection on the Peninsula. When Calakmul and Ría Celestún were established as Biosphere Reserves by presidential decree, the National Institute of Ecology (INE) was given responsibility for managing the reserves. Since 2000, management of national protected areas in Mexico has been the responsibility of the National Commission for Natural Protected Areas (CONANP).
