TAKATA RESEARCH CENTER Information

Since 2016, our NGO has been setting up projects and programs to transform Mahahual into a responsible development model. Our results demonstrate the seriousness and importance of this work, which we hope to increase over the next year. Our programs are diversified. They cover, among other things, eco-certification, coral restoration, and the study of mangroves forest. Inhabited by social development values, we collaborate closely with the community, the municipality, schools, and private establishments. In addition, we benefit from cooperation agreements with several national and foreign universities, allowing us to receive interns from different countries from academic backgrounds such as biology, ecology, environmental management, anthropology, geology, economics, engineering, geography, urban planning, and tourism. This varied expertise has enabled us to study ecosystems and their biodiversity as much as social dynamics and the attachment of the population to its natural environment. For all these reasons, it is time to increase our impact on the community and the environment by implementing larger-scale projects while engaging the local population. WE OWE IT TO FUTURE GENERATIONS!
