Keep an eye out for an announcement soon and join our new Facebook group.
Cabo Pulmo National Park in Baja California Sur, Mexico protects one of the most unique and diverse ocean habitats in North America. However, this park is under threat from a huge resort that will damage both the coral reef and local community.
