Cabo Pulmo National Park, one of the most recognized protected areas in the world, and a declared World Heritage by UNESCO along with its surrounding coastal boarders in Punta Arena are being threatened by a hotel operation "Cabo Dorado" wanting to develop a +10,000 hotel rooms with golf courses and marina promoted by the company La Rivera Development.

A group of Mexican scientists and oceanographers are fighting back and have compiled ten full analytic reports of the situation in which they summarize the potential impact the project will have on the environment of Cabo Pulmo. We are closely working with the group of scientists whom are asking the Mexican Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources to use their report to serve as support to urge authorities to protect Cabo Pulmo . So far 1,471 international scientists, professors and environmental organizations have supported their campaign.

It is now up to us to show that there is a worldwide community that cares enough to protect Cabo Pulmo and to stop La Rivera Development from developing "Cabo Dorado".

Our goal: to reach 100,000 signatures by June 15th 2014 .

The Cabo Pulmo community has struggled for twenty years to protect the area and its valuable resources. Hailed as one of the greatest conservation success stories, it is one of the most important and valuable ecological regions in Mexico and the world.

Let's continue to protect Cabo Pulmo National Park for the next generations to come.

En Español:

El Parque Nacional de Cabo Pulmo, uno de los espacios protegidos más reconocidos del mundo, y declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO junto con sus fronteras costeras circundantes en Punta Arena, se están viendo amenazadas por una operación hotelera denominada "Cabo Dorado" que quiere construir más de 10.000 plazas hoteleras con campos de golf y puerto deportivo, promovido por la empresa La Rivera Desarrollo.

Un grupo de científicos y oceanógrafos mejicanos que luchan por protegerlo, han recopilado diez informes analíticos completos en los que se resume el posible impacto que el proyecto hotelero tendría sobre el medio ambiente en Cabo Pulmo. Nosotros trabajamos de cerca con este grupo de científicos, quienes están pidiendo a la Secretaría Mexicana de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales que utilicen su informe como apoyo para instar a las autoridades a proteger a Cabo Pulmo. Hasta el momento 1.471 científicos internacionales, profesores y organizaciones medioambientales han apoyado esta campaña.

Ahora nos toca a nosotros demostrar que hay una comunidad en todo el mundo que se preocupa lo suficiente por proteger Cabo Pulmo y evitar que La Rivera Desarrollo lleve a cabo su proyecto "Cabo Dorado".

Nuestro objetivo: llegar a las 100.000 firmas antes del 15 de junio de 2014.

La población de Cabo Pulmo ha luchado durante veinte años para proteger la zona y sus valiosos recursos. Aclamado como uno de los mayores éxitos de conservación, es una de las regiones ecológicas más importantes y valiosas tanto en México como en el resto del mundo.

Sigamos protegiendo el Parque Nacional de Cabo Pulmo para las próximas generaciones.
