Cada observación cuenta. Cuando las comunidades participan en el monitoreo de especies y ecosistemas, generan información valiosa que ayuda a comprender, proteger y conservar la riqueza natural que compartimos.
En CEDO creemos que las mejores soluciones para la conservación nacen de la colaboración: del conocimiento local, la ciencia ciudadana y el trabajo conjunto entre comunidades, investigadores y organizaciones.

📍Cada dato suma. 📍Cada registro aporta.

Juntos fortalecemos el cuidado de nuestros mares, desiertos y costas para las generaciones presentes y futuras.

Porque conservar la biodiversidad es una tarea de todos.

For 10 years now, Puerto Peñasco has certified its first beach (Sandy Beach). To achieve this, CEDO has supported the process ever since, taking charge of Chapter 5.4 on Biodiversity of the NMX-AA-120-SCFI-2016 standard.

"Recently, auditors from the Mexican Institute for Standardization and Conformity Assessment (IMEEC) presented the results of deep, rigorous audits conducted at Sandy Beach and Playa Hermosa—a crucial step toward consolidating their environmental credentials.

During the meeting, chaired by Municipal Secretary Dalia Moncada on behalf of Mayor Alejandro Verdugo, evaluators Nestor Olivar and Ricardo Trinidad shared the criteria and scores for each category. They highlighted the optimal conditions of the evaluated sections, while Secretary Moncada emphasized that the port has successfully fostered a genuine culture of environmental awareness among citizens, business owners, and local authorities, directly benefiting tourism and the local economy.

The event included the strategic participation of directors from the Federal Maritime-Terrestrial Zone (Zofemat), the Clean Beaches Committee coordination, the Department of Ecology, the Auxiliary Tourist Unit, and the Inspection and Surveillance department. Key developments and hotels were also represented, including Playa Bonita Resort, Playa Bonita Trailer Park, Sonoran Sky, Las Palomas Beach Resort (and Palomas Phase 3), Peñasco del Sol, Condominios Gaviotas, and Sonoran Star, among others. Representatives from non-governmental organizations and institutions supporting these actions were also in attendance.

This working group served to review in detail compliance with the strict federal environmental, safety, and service standards.

For his part, Zofemat Director Armando Borboa Robles emphasized that coordinated efforts over the past year have significantly reduced waste and improved infrastructure at the certified beaches.

Authorities expressed their gratitude for the backing of operational departments, the business sector, hoteliers, volunteers, foreign residents, and NGOs like CEDO who actively participate in conservation efforts.

It was announced that the beach certifications will be made official in the coming weeks, following the final results and rulings of the audits.

It is worth noting that Puerto Peñasco holds the record for the longest stretch of certified clean beach for recreational use in the entire country."

Remember 🤓
☑️ Every action counts
☑️ Every species matters
☑️ Our future depends on how we care for biodiversity today

Through its Water Project, CEDO Intercultural has begun the construction of in elementary schools across several communities in Caborca, including the Rodolfo Campodónico ejido, 15 de Septiembre ejido, Oribe de Alba, and Álvaro Obregón, as part of an initiative focused on strengthening in the face of challenges related to access.

This project was created as a alternative to support schools during periods of water shortages, a situation that at times leads to class suspensions and disrupts school activities. We continue taking important steps toward more , dignified, and solutions.

Dry toilets represent an and practical as they do not require water for use, prevent unpleasant odors through proper management, and allow organic waste to be repurposed for compost production.

the project will expand to elementary schools in Puerto Lobos and El Desemboque de Caborca, further increasing its positive impact across more communities in the region.

This work is made possible thanks to the support of the Fundacion Gonzalo RIO Arronte and the Boilard Memorial Fund.

The connection between Arizona and the Upper Gulf of California runs deeper than most people realize. Even without a coastline, Arizona is part of a living system that links desert, rivers, and the ocean.

💧 The Colorado River —flowing through Arizona— historically feeds the Gulf of California
🌵 What happens in the desert impacts the sea
🌊 What we protect in Arizona comes to life in the Upper Gulf of California

And today, you can help protect it.

We're running out of time — and we still need your help.

• Build cooperation between regions
• Protect species that depend on both
