“I support the Salvemos Punta Conejo campaign because Punta Conejo is an area surrounded by nature where there is not only one of the best right-hand waves in the world but it’s also where the turtles come out to lay their eggs.”

** What’s "Salvemos Punta Conejo"?
------------------------------------------------------------
Punta Conejo is a renowned surf break along the coastline of Southern Oaxaca and has been threatened by the proposed construction of an industrial port project.
In 2019, Save The Waves teamed up with local partners around Salina Cruz, Oaxaca to find alternative solutions to the port project that would have a lower impact on the surf ecosystem and the local economies that depend on it. Together, we launched an international campaign and petition ([link removed]) .
Over the past four years, Save The Waves has hosted over 25 community workshops across 4 villages in the area of Salina Cruz to find the solution that would save Punta Conejo and the surrounding area.
Now, Save The Waves and our local partners are proposing legitimate and legal protection for not only the wave at Punta Conejo, but the surrounding coastal area in the first-ever coastal "Área de Protección de Flora y Fauna'' in Oaxaca.
Your signature supports our proposal.
