Since 2012, Resources Legacy Funds (RLF) and FMCN established the Coastal Lands Fund with contributions made by RLF. Currently, this fund supports the conservation and management of six lands located in the following strategic sites: 1) Valle de Los Cirios; 2) Magdalena Bay; 3) San Quintin; 4) San Cosme Corridor; 5) Sinaloa Wetlands; and 6) Marismas Nacionales.
The lines of work that guide the actions of the Coastal Lands Fund are:
This fund supports the operation and management of six lands located in strategic conservation sites.
Since 2013, the Coastal Lands Fund has financed six subprojects of four local organizations that own lands designated as voluntary conservation areas or environmental management units and that are located in strategic sites in Baja California, Baja California Sur, Sinaloa, and Nayarit. The project has achieved the payment of the property tax of the six lands that allow 37,566.52 hectares to be conserved, while the organizations have implemented conservation and management actions.
During the first half of 2024, the project followed up on six subprojects implemented by four organizations: Pronatura Noroeste, Costasalvaje, Niparajá, and Terra Peninsular. Of these subprojects, four updated their logical framework after ten years of implementation.
All the subprojects have generated a positive impact on conservation and sustainable management of the lands through supervision and monitoring patrols, as well as the payment of property taxes, which has helped prevent environmental violations and ensure legal land security. They also carried out biological monitoring activities and visitor registration for proper tourism management, providing valuable information for decision-making.
