The Preservation of Laguna San Ignacio

Protection of the 19th century Laguna San Ignacio, where the demand for their products was great, the gray whales of the Pacific were almost killed and killed. At the turn of the century, there were only thousands of these valuable whales. Shortly thereafter, whales were included in the endangered species list, where it was tightly protected by many domestic laws and international treaties. In 1993, the number of gray whales reached 21,000 miracles By the end of 1994 the Pacific whale became the first mammal removed from the endangered species list.

The story of our Laguna San Ignatius is legendary. Since 1995, the NRDC has launched an international campaign to prevent the development of a salt production facility that a major automobile company could contaminate lagoons by boiling poisonous chemicals. The salt factory will definitely swim across the Arctic Circle over nearly half of the Northern Hemisphere and endanger the Pacific Gray Whale at a critical stage in their lives every winter. Five years later, our organization gathered an incredible network of allies in battle, such as environmentalists, fishermen, scientists, activists, and increased the harmful perception of these behaviors. Millions of people all over the world are opposed to this proposal - it is even more impressive when thinking that the internet is not a way to petition at the time - our strong alliance discontinues the project in 2000 You can achieve breakthrough victory

Personally, for me, Laguna San Ignacio is also a dream. When the campaign took place in earnest, I was a young environmentalist in my twenties. The success is engraved in my memory and I have proved that environmentalists have the power to change the world and we are confident that we will do it today as well. Our legacy is obvious. Because the lagoon is a real miracle even after about 20 years. Repeat visitors like Fantasma, Lagoon, in the presence of wonderful, friendly and grandiose creatures, greet us and gently push her body up to the boat. Another whale swam directly to us and urged her to squat for weeks. A shy calf finally came to us and was swimming lying next to her mother - a beautiful and attractive scene

The human whale relationship at San Ignacio in Laguna was at most violent. Regarding the story of turning over a ship that breaks female gray shards and kayaks, local fishermen and tourists pay attention to the disturbed history of their infamous reputation and interaction between San Ignacio and human whales While pointing out to avoid devil fish. There are other birth lagoons in Baja-Bahía Magdalena in the south, Guerrero Negro in the north and Ojo de Liebre in the north. Ojo de Liebre was known as Scumon's lagoon next to Charles M. Scamon, a whaling captain of the 19th century who first discovered the Baba birthing lagoon.
