Biodiversity partnerships

The CEMEX Conservation Book Series

In addition to our efforts to responsibly manage the land where we operate, we work in partnership with others on wider biodiversity conservation projects. Our common goal is to help protect and restore ecosystems and ensure the long-term health of the planet. Our series of conservation books is one example of this work. The books contain cutting-edge images from some of the world's best nature photographers, and aim to raise awareness of conservation issues and inspire action. In 2008, we published our 16th title, A Climate for Life: Meeting the Global Challenge¹, in partnership with Conservation

International and the International League of Conservation Photographers. The book examines the impact of climate change on biodiversity, and focuses on the most crucial challenges currently facing life on our planet. Most importantly, the book discusses the sustainability of the solutions available.

At the field level, our El Carmen initiative has become the model for a new generation of conservation partnerships. El Carmen is an example of cross-border cooperation for biodiversity protection. Established in 2000, it now covers approximately 200,000 hectares of ecologically significant land along the border of the United States and Mexico. The land is owned by CEMEX and other private landowners.

Restoring native grasslands and wildlife habitats is a priority at El Carmen. The initiative uses scientific research coupled with habitat and wildlife management to restore and protect the landscape. Depleted grasslands are being mechanically treated and reseeded as a part of the comprehensive management plan. The initiative provides guidance on habitat and wildlife restoration to our partners and interested adjacent landowners. A highlight in 2008 was the installation of solar and wind power generators for facilities at El Carmen, reducing the use of fossil fuels.
