Honduras Coral Reef Fund (HCRF) had the honor of participating in COP16, held from October 21 to November 1, 2024, in Cali, Colombia—an essential event for global conservation and the protection of the marine environment.
COP16 is part of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), focusing on implementing the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, which aims to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030.
This meeting provided a platform for discussing key issues like marine conservation, sustainable development, and the critical role of coral reefs in sustaining biodiversity and supporting coastal communities.
Fernanda Valladares, representing our foundation, showcased the progress and commitments in safeguarding the coral reefs of the Honduran Caribbean, promoting both biodiversity and the sustainable development of coastal communities.
Our deepest gratitude to Fauna & Flora for allowing us to be part of their delegation and to ICRI (International Coral Reef Initiative) for providing space in their Pavilion for Coral, where we connected with a global network of experts and allies dedicated to ocean protection. Together, we continue working toward innovative solutions to protect marine ecosystems and ensure their resilience for generations to come.
