Help Save 3 Endangered Grassland Species in Mexico

Dear friends, 

In this brief report, we would like to share with you a couple of photographs of the bison herd that lives inside our conservation ranch, El Uno, in the state of Chihuahua. This herd is the only one kept for conservation purposes in Mexico and is a fundamental piece in the effort to preserve both our grasslands and the species that depend on them. We hope that you enjoy the photos as much as we do! This year's winter was harsh, but the improving weather conditions were accompanied by the first birth of 2019.

Please consider renewing your support for this project, every one of your donations is critical to our conservation efforts.

Dear friends,

1-2 November was Mexico’s famous Day of the Dead celebration. Whereas for most Mexicans the holiday is their way to show their love for deceased family members, for FMCN it was the opportunity to save 3 national endangered species: the American bison, golden eagle and Mexican prairie dog. It is important to preserve these species because they are crucial for the wellbeing of Mexico’s grassland ecosystems.

The campaign is a running project and, thanks to your generous donations, progress has already been achieved. Here are the advances made in the bison herd located in FMCN’s conservation ranch:
-data collection (offspring, gender, tag and chip numbers, year of birth/death, origin)
-calculations of survival rate, statistics, causes of death
-veterinary care and medical check-ups (vaccinations, blood tests, weight)

All of this has already been achieved and, by helping us reach our $20,000 target, you will contribute to educating schoolchildren about protecting prairie dogs and to the rehabilitation of injured golden eagles.

Thank you for all your support so far and here’s to preserving Mexico’s ecosystems.
