Types of protected areas
Biosphere Reserves: These are large, protected areas that serve to conserve biodiversity and ecosystems while allowing for sustainable development. They often include core areas, buffer zones, and transition areas.
National Parks: National parks are areas of land or water dedicated to the protection and preservation of natural and cultural resources. They are typically open to the public for recreational and educational purposes.
National Monuments: These areas are designated for the protection of specific natural or cultural features, which may be of historical or scientific significance.
Natural Resources Protection Areas: These areas are established to safeguard specific natural resources, such as watersheds, coastal zones, and critical habitats.
Flora and Fauna Protection Areas: These are areas designated to protect specific plant and animal species or their habitats.
Sanctuaries: Sanctuaries are areas set aside for the protection of specific wildlife species, especially in their breeding and nesting areas.
These protected areas are established to conserve and protect various aspects of the environment, from ecosystems and species to cultural and historical sites. Each type serves a specific conservation purpose and may have distinct management objectives.
Role of CONANP
CONANP plays a crucial role in the conservation and sustainable management of Mexico's natural heritage, ensuring that these areas are preserved for future generations while also contributing to the well-being of local communities and the nation as a whole.
