SECRETARIAT

PROFILE

WWF-Mexico hosts the Secretariat of the Committee. Since 1980, WWF works in Mexico supporting conservation actions in the field, while influencing the environmental policies in Mexico. The goal of WWF-Mexico is to protect the natural capital of the country and benefit local communities. From the moment WWF start working in Mexico, the conservation of vaquita has been a priority, and since 2008 WWF has collaborated with Mexican Government and Fishing Communities in the Upper Gulf of California in the design and use of fishing gear that allow fishers to make a living without affecting vaquita.
