National Phenology Network
The National Phenology Network began its activities in 2010 in the states of Mexico, Michoacán, Campeche, and Quintana Roo. It grew significantly in 2013 through collaborative efforts with Alternare A.C. and the communities of the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve.
This initiative offers training to understand how plants and animals respond to potential climate changes and their effects on society.
The technical team includes Dr. Leticia Gómez Mendoza and Dr. Erika Rocío Reyes González, along with undergraduate students from UNAM’s Geography Department.
Goals of the Phenology Network
- Develop adaptation strategies for climate change, enabling communities that depend on ecosystem services to identify vulnerabilities and implement adaptive measures.
- Provide agricultural planning advice with a technical and economic focus.
- Ensure the region's ecosystem services are maintained.
Activities of the Phenology Network
- Organize training workshops on phenological data collection with participating communities.
- Present progress and conduct follow-up visits to support vegetation monitoring.
- Continuously inviting more communities to join the initiative.
