The certification of Ecological Conservation Areas (ECA) was carried out in the Mountain region of Guerrero state, as part of an initiative to promote a new paradigm for conservation, consisting of integrated management of ecosystems, with the Integrated Ecosystem Management (IEM) Project in Three Priority Ecoregions, coordinated by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). The objective of this study was to retrospectively analyze the certification process, in order to systematize the regional experience. The research followed a qualitative approach, applying the methodology of documentary research and the systematization of experiences in the researchers’ own process. Results indicate that the project achieved ECA certification for 48,851.3 ha, of 18 agricultural nuclei; the certified area represents 57.5% of the total surface area, certified as Areas Voluntarily Destined for Conservation (AVDC) in the state of Guerrero. We conclude that considering the certified area, the ECA certification in the region represents a successful effort for the conservation of ecosystems, while also promoting processes of local and regional participation, organization for conservation and development and inter-institutional coordination.
