Biodiversity conservation in Mexico assessing the institutional capacity for implementing nagoya protocol and aichi targets
This chapter is based on a research project for evaluating the effectiveness of the management capacity of two natural protected areas (NPAs) of the coastal zone of Campeche, Mexico: the Special Protected Area of Flora and Fauna of Laguna de Términos (LT), decreed on September 24, 1994, and the Biosphere Reserve of Los Petenes (LP), decreed on April 22, 1999. Considering various management elements, as well as public policies, and the institutional capacity for both NPAs, we assessed the opportunities, strengths, weaknesses and threats for implementing the Nagoya Protocol and the Aichi Targets. Given the fact that both NPAs were decreed 23 and 18 years ago, respectively, with the help of the federal government with the assistance and consent of both the state of Campeche and the municipal governments, it was expected to find a suitable scenario for implementing actions and strategies to be built upon previous ones, which would have been directed to preserve biodiversity and avoid its loss. However, the reality was completely different, and we found that there is plenty of room for improvement and capacity building in a coordinated fashion and from an integrated coastal management perspective.
