Public-Private-NGO Conservation Alliance Invests $100 Million in Mexico

Located among the peaks of the Sierra Madre Mountains in Southern Chiapas, El Triunfo became a state park in 1972 and a federal protected area in 1990. In 1993, it was designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

Threats to these Chiapas treasures include agricultural conflicts, invasive species, forest fires, pollution of rivers and creeks by solid waste and agrochemicals and climate change.
