Mexico, Central America, and The Caribbean: a journey towards sustainability
It’s not just the final destination that makes a journey worthwhile, but everything we learn along the way.
Mexico,  Central  America  ²¹²Ô»åÌý the Caribbean is one  of the  regions  richest in  terrestrial   ²¹²Ô»åÌý  marine   biodiversity, with communities, ethnic groups  and indigenous  peoples who  have  inhabited the area for thousands of years, protecting and  living in harmony  with  natural resources.
Mesoamerica has 12% of the world’s biological wealth in just 2% of the planet’s l²¹²Ô»åÌý  above sea  level.  It  contains  the second most  important  barrier reef in the world, and 8% of the earth’s remaining mangroves.
The Caribbean islands form one of the major  centres of endemic  biodiversity in the  world due  to the  region’s  geography and climate.
Thanks  to all these  actions,  added to the thousands of efforts by Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ Member organizations,  we  have  achieved  results and  generated  knowledge, lessons,  and good practices. As a whole, they contribute a wealth of concepts and actions  to the global environmental agenda helping paradigms of sustainable development to prevail.
Together  with our Members  and  partners, the  Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹ûÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ Regional  Office for Mexico, Central America and  the Caribbean has  sought  to bring all this learning on our journey to the 2016 World Conservation Congress, in hopes that  it will allow us  to connect with other regions experiencing similar challenges and with global proposals including  thematic  interests  aligned  with these  problems.
The best  examples of this thematic  linkage will be exhibited in the different spaces of the Conservation Forum, such as knowledge cafés,  pavilions, high-level dialogues, workshops, posters, and the Conservation Campus.  Please  join us  in our journey to the World Conservation Congress Hawai’i 2016.
