International Commitments and Collaboration<\/h3>\n
The organizations selected to implement projects in their territories represent a concrete step following the commitment signed in October 2024 during the United Nations Biodiversity Conference (COP16)<\/strong> in Cali, Colombia. At that event, Birds Canada, National Audubon Society, and Fondo Mexicano para la Conservaci\u00f3n de la Naturaleza (FMCN)<\/strong> signed an agreement to collaborate on the protection of threatened, endemic, and migratory birds along their routes across the Americas.<\/p>\n Thanks to this collaboration, new Voluntarily Designated Conservation Areas (ADVCs)<\/strong> will be established in priority sites for bird conservation, contributing to the 30\u00d730 global target<\/strong>, a key goal of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, which aims to protect 30% of the world\u2019s lands and oceans by 2030.<\/p>\n A key component is the Equity Fund<\/strong>, which ensures that at least 20% of subprojects are led by women, youth, and\/or Indigenous and Afro-descendant communities.<\/p>\n The call, launched during the first quarter of 2025, was directed at legally established local organizations interested in certifying or expanding ADVCs in strategic areas for bird conservation.<\/p>\n A total of 31 proposals<\/strong> met all the requirements of the call, of which 24 were submitted under the public call modality and 7 under the Equity Fund modality. Following an evaluation process carried out by specialists external to FMCN, 12 proposals were selected<\/strong>: 8 from the public call and 4 from the Equity Fund.<\/p>\n The subprojects will be implemented in 8 states across the country<\/strong> over 18 months starting in June 2025<\/strong>, in coordination with Pronatura Sur, A.C.<\/strong>, the implementing partner of the Conserva Aves Mexico initiative.<\/p>\n This project, under the framework of the Conserva Aves Initiative<\/strong>, is led by American Bird Conservancy, National Audubon Society, BirdLife International, Birds Canada,<\/strong> and the Latin American and Caribbean Network of Environmental Funds (RedLAC)<\/strong>. In Mexico, its implementation is led by FMCN<\/strong>, in collaboration with Pronatura Sur.<\/strong><\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Conserva Aves Mexico is a national initiative that is part of the broader Conserva Aves project, which operates across Latin America and aims to support the conservation of birds and their habitats with a focus on community-based action.
