2025 REPORT
In 2025, La Celebración de las Áreas Protegidas y Conservadas LAC (The Celebration of Protected and Conserved Areas in Latin America and the Caribbean) demonstrated that conservation is not just an environmental agenda, but a human, cultural, and political process that builds collective well-being. The data recorded—more countries, more actors, more alliances, more leadership, more territories, and more verifiable impacts—reflect a profound evolution: the network has gone from inspiring to influencing.
Today, the Celebration is a platform that:
→ Strengthens territorial leadership, especially among women, youth, and indigenous peoples.
→ Connects scales: from communities to global spaces such as IUCN.
→ Promotes collaborative governance based on human rights.
→ Integrates territories to protect biodiversity and generate well-being.
→ Establishes narratives that transform the culture of conservation.
CHALLENGE 2026 AND 2027: Focus efforts on territorial advocacy for the collaborative governance of protected and conserved areas in the region with financial sustainability.
The Celebration is not an event, it is a living process.
A regional movement that confirms that conservation is a right, and so is participation.
