Why is it important?

Amigos para la Conservación de Cabo Pulmo (Friends for the Conservation of Cabo Pulmo) plays a crucial role in the environmental conservation of San José del Cabo by protecting the unique marine ecosystem of the Cabo Pulmo National Park, home to one of the most important coral reefs in the eastern Pacific. This community-based civil organization focuses on sustainable tourism, marine conservation, and education to safeguard the area's rich biodiversity. Their efforts help preserve endangered species, such as sea turtles and sharks while promoting ecological balance and raising awareness about the impact of human activities on this delicate environment. By fostering local stewardship and international collaboration, the group ensures long-term protection for Cabo Pulmo, contributing to the overall health and sustainability of the larger Los Cabos region.

How do they do it?

Amigos para la Conservación de Cabo Pulmo achieves their conservation goals by combining environmental education, access to information, and community participation. They educate local communities and visitors about preserving the marine ecosystem through workshops and programs emphasizing sustainable practices, such as responsible tourism. The organization also promotes community participation by involving locals in monitoring and protecting endangered species, such as sea turtles, and by offering accessible information on marine biodiversity. Through initiatives like these, they empower the community to take an active role in conservation while ensuring economic benefits, fostering a balance between environmental protection and local well-being.
