Sierra a Mar
The best way to predict the future is to create it together
Sierra A Mar is a groundbreaking initiative in Costalegre, Jalisco, Mexico, uniting local communities, government agencies, developers and visionary leaders to set new global standards for regenerative, nature-based development. This ambitious plan works across the Costalegre region — from the mountain ridges to the ocean — restoring ecosystems, protecting biodiversity, and supporting local livelihoods.
What We Do
Sierra A Mar focuses on:
- Restoring river basins, coastal lagoons, and tropical forests.
- Creating Mexico’s longest coastal marine protection zone (100 km) with managed fisheries.
- Building wildlife corridors and safeguarding endangered species.
- Training and investing in local communities and businesses to drive a blue-green economy.
- Launching catalytic projects like marine protection systems in Bahía Chamela and lagoon restoration in Chalacatepec, led by local fishers.
Why It Matters
Unchecked development is threatening one of Mexico’s richest ecosystems. Sierra A Mar exists to flip the script — showing that conservation and responsible development can work hand in hand. Backed by leading scientists, conservationists, and entrepreneurs, it is the first project of its scale in Latin America with global relevance.
How We Help
- Partnering with local, national, and international actors to implement large-scale conservation actions.
- Providing full transparency for donors, including financial reports, impact tracking, site visits, and direct engagement with the executive team.
- Restoring ecosystems to secure clean water, fisheries, biodiversity, and climate resilience.
- Building the capacity and infrastructure needed to scale over the next decade.
Our Impact
Sierra A Mar is reshaping the future of Costalegre by regenerating ecosystems, protecting community livelihoods, and setting a visionary example for how we can all co-create a sustainable future.
