BlueMX focuses on Blue Carbon Projects within Mexico.
Covering almost 2,000,000 square kilometers (770,000 sq mi), Mexico is the fifth largest country in the Americas (by total area), the 13th largest independent state in the world and with an estimated population of over 129 million people, Mexico is the tenth most populous country in the world.

The coast of Mexico has more than 700,000 hectares of mangroves, 5% of the world total, making it the fourth country in the world in area of this kind of ecosystem. Mexico is also unique for its land tenure system, with approximately 70% of the country’s forests being under social ownership by local communities, many of which are indigenous.
Our project areas are validated and verified by a variety of Greenhouse Gas Emission Standards. Check out our Knowledge Corner to learn more about these standards, certifications and frameworks.

Despite the widely recognized value of it’s Blue Carbon natural capital, Mexico has one of the highest mangrove deforestation rates in the world. Without concerted action, close to 50% of Mexico’s mangroves will have been lost within the next 25 years.
