Centro de Estudios de Desarrollo Sustentable y Aprovechamiento de la Vida Silvestre

The Centro de Estudios en Desarrollo Sustentable y Aprovechamiento de la Vida Silvestre (Center for Studies of Sustainable Development and Use of Wildlife) has its origins in the Programa de Ecología Aplicada y Manejo de Ambientes Terrestres (ECOMAT), which was founded in the Universidad Autónoma de Campeche in June, 1993. In 1998 the name of the Program changed to the current one due to reorganization of its function and activities.
