“More than 20 years ago, CEMEX rose as an industry pioneer by
spreading the culture of conservation, a commitment that we
maintain every day by integrating sustainability in all aspects of
our business,” said Fernando A. Gonzalez, CEO of CEMEX. “We
celebrate the results of these efforts and thank the world’s main
conservation NGOs for their constant collaboration in materializing
the need to protect our planet.”
One of CEMEX’s most recognized initiatives is the company’s
annual publication of volumes from its Nature Book Series, a more
than two-decade tradition dating from 1993. Brilliantly written
with the support of conservation NGOs and renowned scientists and
illustrated with the vision of celebrated photojournalists, these
books are an important endeavor designed to foster actions that
benefit our planet and its ecosystems.
The volumes from CEMEX Nature Book Series have clearly
influenced protective measures for global hotspots—the most
biodiversity-rich and threatened ecoregions on our planet. CEMEX’s
vision to highlight the importance of these regions contributed to
the creation of conservation centers in Mexico, Brazil, Guyana, the
Tropical Andes, Melanesia, and Madagascar, together with the
creation of a global conservation fund to designate new protected
natural areas in priority sites.
“Back from the Brink: 25 Conservation Success Stories,” the
latest volume in CEMEX Nature Book Series, celebrates the 25th
anniversary of this initiative by highlighting the remarkable
resolve of innumerable people and institutions to save the
ever-rising numbers of threatened species. To learn more about this

CEMEX has been honored to work with over 20 conservation NGOs in
the 25-year history of CEMEX Nature Book Series, including BirdLife
International, Conservation International, the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the
International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), The Wild
Foundation, and Wildlife Conservation Society, among others.
Additionally, renowned conservation figures have participated in
the development of the books, such as Russell A. Mittermeier,
current Chief Conservation Officer of Global Wildlife Conservation
and former president of Conservation International. Named a “Hero
for the Planet” by TIME magazine, Mittermeier said, “The CEMEX book
series on nature and conservation, now celebrating its 25th volume,
has been historic in its impact. The series has covered many of the
most important and most current conservation themes of our
generation, ranging from Biodiversity Hotspots, Wilderness, and
Megadiversity Countries to Fresh Water, Oceans, and Climate Change,
and has involved as contributors many of the world's leading
experts on these issues. Thanks to the generosity of CEMEX,
these extremely attractive high-quality books have been widely
available, and indeed can be found in the offices of
heads-of-state, ministers, business leaders, and celebrities around
the world. It has been an honor and a privilege to have contributed
to 13 of the 25 volumes, and I hope to see this very valuable
contribution to conservation and corporate social responsibility
continue into the future.”
