About CPSG Mesoamerica

CPSG Mesoamerica acts as a linking organization between different stakeholders—from regional zoos, academia, field research, ex situ management, government, and the community. CPSG Mesoamerica helps set species conservation priorities and actions through workshops, facilitation experience, and computer tools, fulfilling a need for science-based conservation planning. Our aim is to maintain and create new contacts in our region to continue supporting conservation efforts for Mesoamerican wildlife using CPSG’s conservation planning tools and methodologies. CPSG Mesoamerica has contributed to over 60 conservation workshops, collaborating with more than 100 organizations working on in situ and ex situ conservation in the region.

 

2016-2017 activities include:

  • Workshop to develop a Wildlife Health Plan for the Galapagos Islands
  • Conservation Strategy for Native Bees of Costa Rica
  • Lima Gecko PHVA
