This panel of experts will discuss the state of Sinaloa, Mexico as a focus for strengthening collaborative efforts and innovation for preserving natural systems. Sinaloa is a state in the northwest of Mexico that is known for its diverse ecosystems and essential socioeconomic activities that rely on the rich natural resources in the region. Environmental studies in Sinaloa have drawn attention to the severe human-induced impacts including agricultural land degradation, contamination of coastal areas and fisheries, and toxic releases from mining. Our panel of experts, comprised of researchers from local academic institutions and different areas of expertise, will share perspectives on how these socio-environmental issues in the region are currently addressed and reflect on the challenges and opportunities of building more interdisciplinary solutions. Join us for this hybrid panel to learn more about Sinaloa as a study context for environmental research and ongoing collaborative efforts for environmental preservation. 

Participants: Magdalena Elizabeth Bergés Tiznado, Jesús Armando León Cañedo, Arturo Alfonso Fernández Jaramillo, Marcela Guillermina Fregoso López, Carmen Cristina Osuna Martínez
