Project Details
| Name | Corredor Migratorio Loreto-Cabo Pulmo |
| Description | The Migration Corridor Loreto-Cabo Pulmo extends 268 km along the south-eastern coast of the Baja California Peninsula, Mexico. This area includes four protected areas, four Key Biodiversity Areas, and two Wetlands of International Importance (Ramsar site). The area is characterised by diverse habitats including seamounts, mangroves, rocky shores, boulders, black corals, algal communities, coral reefs, and rocky reefs. Several islands occur in the area including Espíritu Santo, Cerralvo, San José, San Diego, and Santa Cruz Islands. This area has defined seasonal productivity, which is higher during the boreal spring and summer due to upwellings, wind-driven currents, tidal mixing, and thermohaline circulation. Within this area there are: threatened species (e.g., Scalloped Hammerhead Sphyrna lewini) and areas important for movement (e.g., Blacktip Shark Carcharhinus limbatus). |

Potential reduction of species extinction risk resulting from threat abatement actions
Absolute value (STAR)
1.8
0% of the total biodiversity conservation potential of Mexico is covered by this project.
74,004.3
13.6% of The Americas's biodiversity conservation potential is from Mexico.
543,527.6
45.4% of global biodiversity conservation potential is from The Americas.
This stacked bar chart represents the relative disaggregation of the selected contribution's total potential opportunity for reducing global species extinction risk through taking actions to abate different threats to species within its boundaries. The percentages refer to the amount of the total opportunity that could potentially be achieved through abating that particular threat.
