ProFaunaBaja is a small group of ecologists and naturalists concerned with conservation in Baja California Sur, Mexico. The founder and wildlife biologist, Stephanie Rousso, started the group in April 2011. Currently, the group is applying for fiscal sponsorship through The Ocean Foundation to maintain an active legal non-profit status so they can focus on the research.
Mission Statement:
Our mission is to generate a society of conservation interest in protecting sensitive ecosystems and associated rare, endemic, and endangered wildlife species through biological investigation, eco-tourism activities, and environmental education and outreach.
Our Goal:
Our long term goal is to develop a Coastal Habitat Management Plan for the Pacific Cape Region of Baja California Sur, Mexico. The plan, based on Conservation International elements, will be an online interactive document also available for download and print. Included in the plan will be a coastal habitat classification scheme, descriptive baseline conditions, and range maps for each vegetation community. Conservation threats, priority strategies and status of fauna species for each habitat will be organized in a three-tier ranking system to be used to determine high, medium, or low impact from development in the coastal zone.
Where we work:
Coastal habitats such as coastal sand dunes, coastal scrub, rocky coastline, and beach communities extending from Los Cabos and Playa San Cristobal to Pescadero and Todos Santos.
Objectives:
The success of the Habitat Management Plan will depend on implementation of existing government regulation, local community involvement, and organizational support and partnership from other environmental non-profit groups.
