    BIODIVERSITY LOSS

    Mexico is one of the world’s most biodiverse countries but also ranks among the highest for endangered species, with over 1,800 species officially listed as extinct, endangered, threatened, or under special protection.

  • POLLUTION

    Pollution harms ecosystems by contaminating the water, harming wildlife, and disrupting the delicate ecological balance.

  • LNG TANKER BAJA

    INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT

    Development harms terrestrial and aquatic environments by causing habitat destruction, fragmentation, and pollution, leading to a loss of biodiversity and ecological degradation.

  • CLIMATE

    Climate change harms biodiverse ecosystems by altering temperature and precipitation patterns, disrupting habitats, and threatening the survival of many plant and animal species.

  • Illegal and unregulated tourism

    ILLEGAL AND UNREGULATED TOURISM

    The use of spotter planes and prohibited swimming with cetaceans, gravely threatens Baja's cetaceans, causing stress, behavioral changes, physical harm, and disrupting critical nursing, feeding, and migration patterns

  • OVERFISHING AND ILEGAL FISHING

    Especially in protected and fragile areas in Baja California Peninsula, is a growing threat. Vessels targeting species like sardine and tuna harm artisanal fisheries, wildlife, tourism, and local communities.

BAJA CALIFORNIA IS A GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY HOTSPOT

  • Through our local community engagement, partnerships, and education between organizations, governments, and businesses, our advocacy work helps protect endangered wildlife. We achieve this by raising awareness, mobilizing support, and promoting conservation efforts among a wider audience, fostering greater engagement and action to safeguard the region's unique biodiversity.

  • We run initiatives and campaigns to engage both local and international communities in addressing negative human impacts that threaten biodiversity.

  • Through regenerative tourism and scientific partnerships, we are collecting crucial data that is strategically used to inform and implement new policies, management plans, and behavioral guidelines to protect marine biodiversity.

  • Empowering locals to unlock nature's wealth.

    We're on a mission to help Baja California Peninsula communities identify their natural wealth and shift from extractive practices to sustainable livelihoods. Shaping a brighter, greener future for humans, ecosystems and species.

  • Our partnerships on wildlife documentaries provide a deeper dive exploration into the worlds of conservation in Baja, offering immersive storytelling and visual evidence of the region's ecological importance, the challenges it faces, and the efforts being made to protect its endangered wildlife.
