Fueron el Presidente del Consejo de dicha fundación comunitaria, Greg Stanton, su Directora Ejecutiva, Lisa Schalla y la Coordinadora de Programas, Minerva Zamora, quienes dieron los detalles.

El Fondo de Conservación de Bahía de Banderas se estableció en el 2014 para apoyar los proyectos de asociaciones civiles y grupos de base a favor de la conservación de especies y hábitats naturales en la región.

El fondo se nutre de la venta del libro “Guía de Campo Viva Natura” y donaciones de individuos a través de la Fundación Punta de Mita. Esta subvención se ofrece en honor a Rick Main, quien fue un defensor del medio ambiente toda su vida, y que amaba a la Bahía de Banderas y todos sus tesoros naturales.
