Initial situation
The Selva Maya, located in the border region between Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala, is a tropical forest region characterized by its rich biodiversity. Today, the protected area of the Selva Maya is already under considerable ecological pressure, resulting in biodiversity loss and climate change impacts that threaten the livelihoods of the local population. The objective of this project is to establish a regional system for monitoring biodiversity and climate change across national borders in order to systematically quantify the impacts of climate change and socioeconomic drivers on biodiversity. In the future, the monitoring system can serve as a tool to develop, implement, and assess new protection and adaptation strategies together with the local population. The project contributes directly to the implementation of the objectives of the CBD.
