On this Earth Day, we want to acknowledge the efforts of those working tirelessly to defend and restore our natural ecosystems, both here in Baja California and around the world.
David Borbón and Ana Maria Peralta are true community conservationists, having planted over 1.5 million red mangrove propagules around their home of El Delgadito, Laguna San Ignacio, across more than a decade of restoration efforts. We visit them on our trips whenever we can to help support their work and vision.
Mangroves are the most important carbon sink in Baja California, accounting for less than 1% of the terrestrial landscape but over 28% of the below ground carbon storage. They also protect coastlines and communities by absorbing up to 90% of a wave’s energy.
We belong to this big beautiful planet and won’t survive without healthy ecosystems for all species, including ours. So on this day and all days, we champion the work of those making this planet a better place for all 💚🌱
