Mexican Protected Areas are usually financed through public funds. Adding private or developing a system with mixed funds can be particularly relevant when managing resources for projects of short and medium term. Opportunities for other sources to finance the management of the Protected Areas include funds that are financed by environmental fines and access fees to Protected Areas.
