A Living Network of Ancestral Wisdom and Planetary Regeneration
What is the Maya Bioregion?
The Maya Bioregion is one of the most biodiverse and culturally rich areas on Earth — a vast ecological and spiritual landscape that extends across southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador. It is home to the Maya peoples, whose languages, traditions, and knowledge systems have thrived for thousands of years, preserving one of humanity’s most profound relationships with the natural world. At MayaBioregion.org, we honor this living heritage through a network of projects, archives, and educational initiatives designed to bridge ancestral wisdom and modern science. Our mission is to protect, regenerate, and celebrate the ecosystems, cultures, and biocultural corridors that sustain life in the Maya world — from the Great Maya Forest to the Maya Reef and the migratory paths of the Monarch Butterfly.

Our Vision — A Planetary Sanctuary for Life and Knowledge
The Mayan Bioregion stands at the crossroads of biodiversity and consciousness. It is both a geographical territory and a spiritual concept — a living reminder that humanity’s health is inseparable from the health of our bioregions. We work to restore balance by uniting ecology, culture, education, and technology, creating bridges between local communities, indigenous guardians, scientists, and global citizens. Through collaboration and storytelling, the Maya Bioregion becomes a biocultural model for planetary regeneration — where nature, knowledge, and spirit coexist in harmony.
The Great Maya Forest and the Maya Reef — Pillars of Life
The Great Maya Forest Biocultural Corridor
Spanning nearly 5.7 million hectares, the Great Mayan Forest is the second-largest tropical forest in the Americas after the Amazon. In August 2025, Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize joined forces to protect this living sanctuary through the Great Mayan Forest Biocultural Corridor, a monumental step toward transboundary conservation and biocultural unity. Our role is to amplify and connect the voices of the guardians of this forest — indigenous communities, scientists, educators, and organizations — ensuring that the forest remains a library of life for generations to come.
The Maya Reef — The Living Heart of the Caribbean
Stretching across the Caribbean coasts of Belize, Mexico, and Honduras, the Maya Reef forms part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second-largest coral system in the world. It sustains countless marine species and coastal communities and embodies the interconnectedness between sea and forest, between spiritual and ecological life. MayaBioregion.org supports marine conservation, coral restoration, and ecological education to protect these sacred waters.
The Monarch Butterfly — Messenger of Migration and Transformation
Each year, millions of Monarch butterflies journey from Canada and the United States to the Maya highlands and forests of Mexico, following ancient routes across the bioregion. This sacred migration symbolizes continuity, resilience, and rebirth — values deeply woven into Maya cosmology. Through the Monarch Initiative, we celebrate migration as a natural right of life — shared by humans, animals, and ecosystems — affirming our collective responsibility to protect migratory species and their habitats.
The Mayan Library — Preserving Ancestral Knowledge
The Mayan Library is a cornerstone of our work — a living archive dedicated to preserving the ancestral wisdom of the Maya and connecting it with modern librarianship, digital archives, and information science. Founded by Librarian and Information Scientist Josef Sánchez, it integrates indigenous cosmologies, ecological knowledge, and sacred languages into a digital network of learning and remembrance. Through this initiative, we are building a World Library of Bioregions, where the wisdom of each territory is honored and shared for the healing of the planet.
The Josef S. Astro System — A Bridge Between Science and Spirit
Developed by Josef Sánchez, the Josef S. Astro System unites Maya cosmology, Western astrology, Chinese astrology, numerology, and Human Design into a coherent framework for personal and collective transformation. This integrative model reflects the universal harmony between cycles of the Earth, the stars, and human consciousness — guiding individuals toward balance, awareness, and self-realization.
Education, Storytelling, and the Maya Kids Section
To inspire new generations, we are creating educational programs and storytelling spaces where children can explore Maya wisdom through stories, art, and digital learning. The Maya Kids Section brings to life the teachings of nature, animals, and the stars — encouraging curiosity, compassion, and ecological identity.
Why the Maya Bioregion Matters
The Maya Bioregion is not only a geographical area — it is a living consciousness field where nature, history, and human spirit converge. It embodies the possibility of reconciliation between modern civilization and ancestral wisdom, showing that regeneration begins by remembering who we are. Every tree, coral, butterfly, and story is part of a single living system — and every human being has a role in its preservation.
