Residents of Todos Santos know how fortunate we are to live in an area
of unique natural beauty. Our regional ecosystem, composed of oases,
palmars, mountains, dunes, and beaches, is unique on the Baja and
attracts tourists and residents from around the world. Growth in our
area is, of course, inevitable, and responsible development is welcomed.
Development that threatens what we most treasure - our ecosystem -
is not welcome.
Currently, our ecosystem is under siege. A proposal to develop over
80 small lots ON OUR DUNES is in the hands of government officials.
If the proposed development goes forward, building directly on
the dunes is foreseen, Cabo style. Concerned citizens of Todos Santos,
both national and international, are saddened that the environmental
agencies are not protecting the a fragile ecosystem from greedy and
aggressive developers.
Respected ecological organizations like Surf Rider, Natural Resource
Defense Council, Nature Conservancy, Trust for Public Land,
Wilderness Conservancy, Pro-Peninsula, Wildcoast International,
to name a few, are on record as opposing this type of development
for the irreversible devastation it creates.
