3 Who We Are

The Mayan Library (mayanlibrary.org) is the flagship open-access node of the Worldwide Library Initiative, directed by Librarian Joséf Sánchez Coach (UNAM Master’s scholar, author of the 2014 UNAM Digital Library Thesis ↗), working with K’iche’ Ajq’ijab’ Daykeepers and Yucatec Maya speakers.

Technically built by SESY.AI Agency, based in Aldea Zamá, Tulum. Territorial focus: the 5.7M-hectare Mayan Forest Corridor.

4 The Mayan Forest Corridor & Informational Sanctuary

In August 2025, the Gran Selva Maya Biocultural Corridor Agreement (Calakmul Declaration) unified ~5.7M hectares of tropical rainforest across Mexico, Guatemala and Belize under transnational protection.

The Mayan Library builds the parallel Informational Corridor (granselvamaya.org ↗) — archiving oral histories, ethnobotany, and linguistic heritage of this territory.
