The Bay of Loreto National Park celebrates its 20 years…
And the Park management administration, in partnership with Eco-Alianza, local organizations and businesses, are making an open invitation to all citizens to participate in various cultural, artistic, and educational activities, that will be taking place from the 19th to the 22d of July, as the official celebration.
The 4 days celebration includes talks, documentaries and outdoor activities, such as snorkelling and kayaking among others; that will surely provide an opportunity for many children to learn and appreciate more the natural environment.
This year, Eco-Alianza de Loreto started earlier, on the occasion to the celebrate the Anniversary, by organising Loreto’s 3rd. “Reciclatón”, a Recycling Marathon that it is basically a contest, where signed up teams will take their chance to collet as much recyclable plastic and paper, as they can, to win attractive prizes.
So far, 30 active teams made out of 5 people each, have collected more that 15 Tons of plastic and paper.
“Let’s together keep the plastic off the Gulf of California”
