In the core zone of the Sierra de las Minas cloud forest, Coral Maya Conservation supports a long-term wildlife monitoring project led by biologist and researcher Luis Trujillo, in collaboration with Defensores de la Naturaleza & WWF Mesoamérica. As part of a combined strategy for biodiversity monitoring and conservation, camera traps have been installed across the reserve to document a wide range of species, including jaguars, pumas, ocelots, and margays, as well as Baird’s tapirs (dantas), peccaries (coche de monte), and other native wildlife.

Coral Maya Conservation is supporting biodiversity research in the Sierra del Lacandón National Park, an ancient Mayan territory in northern Guatemala located along the Usumacinta River, which forms the natural border between Guatemala and Mexico. This project is led by biologist Luis Trujillo, in collaboration with the conservation foundation Defensores de la Naturaleza, and focuses on documenting wildlife in one of the most biodiverse regions in Mesoamerica

Coral Maya Conservation is supporting cutting-edge marine research focused on understanding how juvenile great white sharks use coastal habitats and how these patterns are shifting in a rapidly warming ocean. The project is led by scientists Anthony McGinnis Jr. and Dr. Salvador Jorgensen and builds on long-term research along the California coast, where juvenile great white sharks have historically concentrated in warm, shallow nearshore waters that serve as important nursery habitats.
