National Commission of Natural Protected Areas (CONANP)

The National Commission of Natural Protected Areas (CONANP) is a Mexican government agency responsible for conserving and managing the country’s protected natural areas, such as national parks, reserves, and wildlife habitats. Its goal is to preserve biodiversity, protect ecosystems, and promote sustainable use of natural resources. CONANP develops policies, enforces environmental laws, and works with local communities, researchers, and organizations to ensure these spaces are preserved for future generations. Essentially, it acts as the steward of Mexico’s rich natural heritage, balancing conservation efforts with responsible economic and social activities.
