I just discovered this piece covering planned development of a huge tourist area adjacent to Cabo Pulmo, home of the only living coral reef in the Sea of Cortez. The reef is a protected national park so allowing harmful development in its backyard doesn’t make much sense. According to the story, the Mexican federal government has already granted environmental permits to the Spanish group leading the project.
She (Fay Crevoshay, the communications director of the NGO Wildcoast) also said it is “schizophrenic” for Mexican authorities [to have created] a national park, which they preserved for years, and then “they grant a permit to a developer in order to destroy it.”
