Playa del Carmen, Mexico — The Confederation for Animal Rights of Mexico (CODAM) has officially launched a new chapter in Quintana Roo, aiming to coordinate and bolster animal defense efforts across the Caribbean state.
CODAM, a national confederation that unites organizations, activists, and specialists across Mexico, seeks to advance the legal, social, and political defense of animals. Its expansion into Quintana Roo addresses local issues such as the exploitation of animals for tourism, the captivity and use of wildlife, animal abuse, and insufficient enforcement of existing laws.
Jessica González Castro, the state representative for CODAM, said the organization’s arrival aims to build a unified and informed front in one of Mexico’s most biodiverse states, which also faces significant pressures from tourism activity. She emphasized that the goal is to coordinate local efforts and prevent animal defenders from tackling these problems in isolation.
As part of its establishment in the state, CODAM Quintana Roo has issued an open call for independent activists, rescuers, veterinarians, lawyers, academics, civil organizations, and interested citizens to join its statewide animal defense network.
Interested individuals can register through an online form to participate in the coordination, training, and support initiatives promoted by the confederation.
CODAM works nationally to promote the recognition and effective protection of animal rights, advocating for legal, cultural, and political changes by connecting organizations and defenders across the country.
