Cristina Zenato Instagram – Conservation has broad spectrum applications and it can come in many different forms.
Conservation for me it’s a life style and that includes day to day choices.
While we can never eliminate our footprint and presence we can learn to mitigate it or to make it more an advantage for the area we visit.
We are currently visiting the archipelago of Revillagigedo, commonly known by the name of bigger island of Socorro.
A @unesco world heritage site, Socorro is part of the successful stories of conservation to benefit the marine areas and the people tied into these areas. While far away from any shore (30 hours navigation) Mexico, has decided to make it a sanctuary.
Many pelagic species of animals, including 241 fish species, 146 invertebrates species and 12 shark species find refuge in these waters, which extend their protection following the currents that run through their “neighboring” Clipperton, Coco, Malpelo and Galapagos.
By visiting these areas we fuel income to the Countries providing the protection with their direct presence. We saw this in Cocos Island as well as here, where the local naval controls the permits to visit as well as patrols the waters to prevent poaching.
