Mexico is a megadiverse country, home to approximately 12% of the planet's species. Currently, the country's ecosystems and species are subject to degradation and various forms of direct pressure, both in the PAs and in the surrounding areas.
Foncer is a long-term financial mechanism inspired by the Protected Areas Fund (FANP), designed to reinforce PAs' effective management. This approach seeks to promote the conservation of priority species at risk and the implementation of management strategies by species with a view to the recovery and/or conservation of their populations.
Since its creation in 2016, the financial management of FONCER's endowment resources has been in charge of FMCN, which channels said resources through local organizations responsible for implementing and operating strategic conservation activities for the various species at risk and their habitats.
The lines of work that guide FONCER's actions are:
FONCER preserves critically endangered species, such as the California condor and the Mexican wolf.
