/PRNewswire/ — Huawei received the LATAM Global Mobile (GLOMO) Award yesterday for the social impact of its Tech4Nature project in Latin America – Dzilam de Bravo Nature Reserve in Yucatan, Mexico. The GLOMO, awarded by the GSMA at the M360 LATAM 2026 event, recognizes the project’s contribution to environmental conservation for the use of technology to protect jaguars in the reserve.

As part of the Tech4Nature global partnership between the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and HuaweiTECH4ALL, the project in Mexico uses advanced technological tools to monitor and preserve the natural habitat of the jaguar, an iconic and endangered species in the Yucatan.
“This recognition reflects the power of technology when it is put to the service of people and the planet,” said Samira Herrera, head of communications and public relations at Huawei Mexico. “Tech4Nature Mexico is an example of how cross-sector collaboration can generate a tangible positive impact on communities and biodiversity conservation.”
The project, launched in 2022 and currently in its second phase, is the result of collaboration between IUCN, Huawei, the government of the State of Yucatán, C Minds, the Polytechnic University of Yucatán (UPY) and the local community of Dzilam de Bravo. The solution integrates species detection and individual identification using AI, community-driven monitoring and governance, and cross-sector collaboration between government, academia, civil society and the private sector.
“Tech4Nature Mexico demonstrates that the true potential of technology lies in the transformation of data into coordination, collective action and public policy for the protection of nature. Through multi-sector collaboration focused on communities and human rights, the initiative puts tools such as artificial intelligence at the service of ecosystems that support our economies and our future,” said Regina Cervera, coordinator of the Tech4Nature México project of AI for Climate at C Minds.
Since the launch of the project, more than 147 species have been identified, 40 of which are endangered, thanks to 26 camera traps and 60 acoustic devices installed in the reserve. In particular, the system identified 16 jaguars, providing key information to understand the behavior, movements and conservation measures capable of protecting the species, which constitute the fundamental element for the environmental balance of the reserve.
Huawei’s cloud-based solutions are used to process and analyze data collected in the field. In addition to video footage of the jaguars, the system automatically captured and analyzed more than 100,000 images and 600,000 audio recordings, strengthening monitoring of local wildlife and the ecosystems in which they live. The insights gained from the data enable a better understanding of the ecosystem and more efficient decision-making for biodiversity conservation, which is also reflected in public policies. In addition to the ecological data, the impact on the landscape level is visible: the protected area has expanded from 69,000 to 104,000 hectares.
Technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud storage and data analytics have enabled the Tech4Nature Mexico project to create a sustainable scientific conservation model that combines scientific innovation with community participation. Together with these technologies, Huawei’s wireless connectivity solutions represent a key aspect of environmental data transmission in Tech4Nature projects, a theme that was reflected at the M360 LATAM 2026 event. The event, held on May 13 and 14, brought together regional and global leaders from the technology ecosystem, mobile networks, governments and related sectors to discuss how to harness the power of technology, working towards building a better future for all. The GLOMO LATAM Awards celebrate innovators redefining technology, connectivity and social progress in the region. The award given to the TechNature Mexico project recognizes the merit of its innovative solutions and ability to generate significant social and environmental benefits for Latin America.
With Tech4Nature Mexico, Huawei reiterates its commitment to using technology as a tool to build a more sustainable and inclusive future, promoting projects that contribute to environmental protection and community development.
