Dzilam State Reserve
A multisectoral collaboration for jaguar conservation in the Yucatán Peninsula.

The Mission

The Mission

Our mission at Tech4Nature México centers on understanding, preserving and restoring the Dzilam State Reserve to provide a secure sanctuary for a rich variety of plant and animal species.

Nestled in the northeastern region of Yucatan, the Dzilam State Reserve is a natural protected area with over 69,000 hectares that belongs to the municipalities of Dzilam de Bravo and San Felipe.

This reserve holds a special status as a critical wetland conservation site, boasting nearly 290 species of fauna intricately linked with over 300 flora species. It spans five distinct vegetation types, including coastal dunes, mangroves, petenes, along with vibrant aquatic flora in coastal lagoons.

The Impact

Camera traps, audio recorders and two custom AI models turned an overwhelming archive into a living catalogue of individuals — observed, logged and identified.
