Started in Mexico's second phase of the Jaguar Protection project!

Merida, Mexiko - On April 14, 2025, the Tech4Nature Summit took place in Mérida, Mexico. At this event, Huawei, the International Union for Nature Conservation (IUCN) and local partners started the second phase of the "Tech4Nature" project, which is dedicated to the protection of Jaguaries in the Dzilam de Bravo nature reserve. The aim of this initiative is to examine the effects of climate change on biodiversity and to develop innovative solutions for nature conservation, especially in a country in which 42 % of ecosystems are considered to be degraded, such as Dr. Marina Robles García, the understate secretary for biodiversity, highlighted.

The two -year partnership was launched in 2020 and has set itself the goal of promoting nature conservation through technological innovation. As part of the first phase of the project, 60 audio devices and more than 20 camera traps have already been installed in the reserve, which led to the identification of 147 species and to confirm the presence of nine Jaguar. According to the IUCN-red list, the Jaguar is classified as "potentially endangered", and the new phase aims to collect data-supported insights to support decisions and improve the reserve management. In addition, the creation of a biological corridor is being used to offer the Jaguaren a safe habitat.

goals of the second phase

In the second phase of the project, the focus is on the collection and analysis of data on the Jaguar Population. The information obtained should be included in the strategic planning to improve the management of the reserve. Tao Jingwen from Huawei emphasized the role of digital technologies in nature conservation and emphasized that these technologies can increase efficiency and accelerate targeted measures.

The Summit brought together experts and conservationists from all over the world to discuss new opportunities for cooperation between technology, NGOs, governments and local communities. In addition, projects were presented in Brazil, China, Spain, Kenya and Turkey in parallel. In Brazil, the impact of climate change is examined on the mangrove crab, while China uses digital solutions to resettle the Hainan gibbon.

global perspectives and challenges

The Tech4Nature initiative has established itself as a global network that strengthens nature conservation in a wide variety of regions. In Spain, for example, it is examined what effects park visitors have on the hawk eagle, while Kenya improves the monitoring of its marine protection areas and coral reefs. Turkey cooperates with NGOs and the private sector to evaluate biodiversity protection.

In a broader context, the Jaguar project, which focuses on cultural landscapes in industrialized countries, deals with strategies for sustainable management of landscapes that are characterized by human use. The concepts of biological diversity and ecosystem services are crucial to optimize food and raw material provision, climate regulation as well as cultural and aesthetic aspects.

The results of the research projects are presented to the public and discussed with decision -makers to enable a dialogue between research and practice. The aim is to contribute to the preservation of the livelihoods in the long term and to promote innovative solutions in nature conservation.
