World Sea Turtle Day was celebrated in Loreto with the 1st Forum on Sea Turtle Conservation Outreach on June 21st, with a collaboration between Eco-Alianza de Loreto, UABCS Campus Loreto, the Loreto City Council, and the Regional Center for Normal Education. Sea turtles are fundamental species for marine ecosystems, and their conservation is crucial to ensure the health and diversity of our oceans, as well as the well-being of communities dependent on them. Despite their importance, these species remain vulnerable and are protected under different risk categories.

Education is a core value of Eco-Alianza. By providing youth with an experiential and intellectual understanding of the value of our Loreto environment, we have implemented a foundation for generations of safeguarding and protection. This March, we participated in the “Kid Wind Challenge.” This hands-on design challenge engages student teams that design, construct and test small scale wind turbines and solar structures at events all over the world. Four of our high-school students earned top honors for their wind energy generator prototype, securing a coveted spot in the upcoming world competition in Minnesota, USA this May.

A warm welcome to 2024 from all of us at Eco-Alianza. As the new year stretches out before us, we make a resolution to continue to do our best for Loreto, and more. We also take a moment to look back on the past year with heart-felt gratitude for all that our Donors have made possible.

Thank you for joining us at La Misión Hotel on November 11, 2023, to celebrate our 16th Gala Anniversary of Eco-Alianza de Loreto. We are truly grateful for your meaningful contribution to our mission. Together, we are making a profound and positive impact on the vibrant community of Loreto and the surrounding areas of Baja California Sur. Thank you for being a crucial part of our journey towards a better, more sustainable future.

The weather has finally turned! It’s as if nature has a switch that shifts the often-brutal summer heat into the delightful autumn season. No more sweltering temps above 100 degrees! More comfortable days and pleasant nights welcoming so many friends and family back to Loreto. Just in time for our ANNUAL ECO-ALIANZA 16TH GALA & FUNDRAISER, November 11, 2023, at Hotel La Misión. We're thrilled to invite you to Eco-Alianza's 16th Fundraising GALA, "Save the Treasures We Love for Future Generations," in partnership with La Mision Hotel.

At the recent gala celebration of the 27th Anniversary of the Bay of Loreto National Park (PNBL), Dr. Victor Sanchez Cordero presented the 'Certificado de Lista Verde de la UICN' to the Bay of Loreto National Park.
