Fundacion Para El Ecodesarollo Y La Conservacion (Fundaeco) is a non-profit organization and foundation based in Guatemala City, Guatemala, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since 2012. The organization specializes in environmental conservation, with a particular focus on migratory bird habitat protection, ecosystem preservation, and climate resilience practices in Guatemala. Fundaeco provides environmental conservation services to the federal government through project grants, primarily working with the Department of Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service to support critical ecological preservation and research initiatives.

Fundaeco has received multiple federal grant awards through the Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation (NMBCA) program, including two recent three-year projects totaling $2,029,675. These grants focus on migratory shorebird conservation along Guatemala's Pacific and Caribbean coasts, involving habitat protection, research, monitoring, and community engagement. As a subrecipient, Fundaeco has partnered with American Bird Conservancy and The Nature Conservancy on additional grants, including a significant project to acquire and permanently protect 1,112 acres of tropical rainforest habitat in the Cerro San Gil Watershed Protection Reserve. The organization's work supports critical conservation efforts for neotropical migratory birds, with projects aimed at expanding protected zones, improving habitat connectivity, and implementing climate resilience practices in Guatemala's Western Highlands. These grants demonstrate Fundaeco's expertise in comprehensive ecological conservation, focusing on bird habitat preservation, land protection, and sustainable environmental management.
