Ocampo Flora and Fauna Protection Area

Ocampo Flora and Fauna Protection Area is a large protected area in northern Mexico, situated in the state of Coahuila along the international reach of the Rio Grande. It encompasses a vast expanse of arid terrain within the eastern Chihuahuan Desert, including rugged canyon country, desert flats, and stretches of the river valley that marks the border with the United States. Designated in 2009 and administered by Mexico's National Commission of Natural Protected Areas, the reserve is classified under IUCN Category VI, which allows for the sustainable use of natural resources alongside conservation. Its size and ecological continuity with neighboring reserves make it a cornerstone of desert and riverine conservation in the region. The area is most significant for the conservation role it plays as part of the El Carmen Big Bend Complex, a Mexico-United States transboundary conservation initiative. Together with adjacent protected areas on both sides of the border, Ocampo helps safeguard one of the most ecologically rich sections of the Chihuahuan Desert and the Rio Grande corridor.

Distance methodology

Geographic measurements, not driving distances

How nearby park distances are calculated

Distances use park boundaries whenever the available geometry allows it. When one or both boundaries are missing, the mapped park locations provide a clearly labelled estimate. Every value represents straight-line geographic separation and does not use roads or routing.

Boundary distance

Calculated between the nearest points of both park boundaries.

Location-to-boundary estimate

Estimated from one mapped park location to the nearest boundary of the other park.

Mapped-location estimate
