Wilderness - Earth's Last Wild Places is the tenth book published by CEMEX in our Conservation Books Program, and the third in a trilogy based on the conservation strategy of Conservation International. Published in collaboration with Agrupación Sierra Madre and Conservation International, the book contains more than 500 pages filled with breath-taking images of vast, untamed lands, rare glimpses of the people who inhabit them, and the findings of more than 200 international researchers who participated in a two-year, global study
of 37 identified wilderness areas that make up 54% of the world's surface. The report includes an analysis of the biodiversity of these areas, a look at the human cultures that inhabit them, a review of the threats these regions face, and a discussion of various conservation efforts to preserve them.

To date, CEMEX has donated more than 75,000 copies of different book editions to conservation NGOs, universities and institutions throughout the world. The book initiative has a double objective: to be a useful fundraising tool for NGOs to accomplish specific conservation projects, and also to foster an environmental culture among readers.

At CEMEX, we believe that people take care of those things they know. For this reason, we have proudly worked for the past 10 years with organizations devoted to conservation, such as Conservation International (CI), the World Conservation Union (IUCN) and Agrupación Sierra Madre.
