For the past four years, the International Community Foundation has been supporting Eco-Alianza de Loreto, A.C.
Eco-Alianza is a Loreto, Baja California Sur-based grassroots nonprofit organization committed to protecting the coastal, marine and terrestrial eco-systems of the Loreto region. Eco-Alianza’s positive influence and success in conservation initiatives stems from its ability to engage key audiences within Loreto, including the municipal government, Federal agencies, the tourism sector, the local building sector, and the American and Canadian residents, and bring these often disparate views to the table.
The greater Loreto region is rapidly changing. Big plans are in place for the future development of coastal resorts inside the Marine Park boundary, including the continuing development of Loreto Bay in Nopolo and Loreto Paraiso, an even larger development planned north of Loreto.
