British Ambassador Visits Groundbreaking Project in Atlántida, Honduras | Fundación Cayos Cochinos

We were honored to host a distinguished guest at Fundación Cayos Cochinos recently. Mr. Nick Whittingham, the British Ambassador for Honduras, paid a visit to get a firsthand look at our ambitious project, "Strengthening Ecological and Socioeconomic Resilience in the Coastal Marine Landscape of Atlántida, Honduras." This project, generously funded by the Darwin Initiative, is a collaborative effort led by the Cayos Cochinos Foundation in partnership with various esteemed organizations.

During the visit, a comprehensive tour was organized, encompassing the vibrant communities of East End and Chachahuate in Cayos Cochinos. The journey continued to the Cuero y Salado Wildlife Refuge in Barra and Dantillo, La Ceiba. Accompanied by our valued partners in the Marine Landscape, including the Bay Islands Foundation (FIB), the Association for Tourist Communities of Honduras (LARECOTURH), Cuero y Salado Foundation (FUCSA), the Center for Marine Studies (CEM), and Fauna & Flora, the Ambassador was able to witness firsthand the incredible work being done to safeguard this unique coastal region.

The project's success hinges on the collective efforts of all stakeholders involved. The invaluable support from the Darwin Initiative, combined with the dedication of our partners and the unwavering commitment of the Cayos Cochinos Foundation, exemplifies what can be achieved through collaborative conservation initiatives.

This visit served as a platform to showcase the progress and potential impact of our collective endeavors. The project aims to not only protect the natural beauty of Atlántida's coastal marine landscape but also to fortify the socioeconomic resilience of the communities intertwined with it.

We extend our deepest gratitude to Mr. Nick Whittingham for his interest and support in our ongoing project. His visit serves as a testament to the global significance of our work in Atlántida, Honduras. With the continued dedication of our partners and the unwavering support of initiatives like the Darwin Initiative, we are confident in our ability to make a positive, lasting impact on this remarkable coastal region.
