Campaign Update: Salvemos Punta Conejo

Punta Conejo, a renowned surf break along the coastline of Southern Oaxaca, could be destroyed by the construction of a new industrial port project.

Last year, we launched the #SalvemosPuntaConejo campaign. We joined local partners Reservas de Surf Mexico, A.C., Wildcoast, and Union de Surfistas y Salvavidas de Salina Cruz, A.C. to implore the Mexican government to explore alternatives that would have a lower impact on the coastal ecosystem and the economies that depend on it. We remain fully committed to protecting this incredible place.

What Have We Done So Far?

Launched the campaign to an international audience and have secured 275,000 petition signatures in support.

Carried out a community workshop and participatory mapping session on the ground in Punta Conejo with local surfers, businesses, fishermen and leaders to solidify a grassroots community-driven strategy.

Developed the required technical studies for the proposal of a Ramsar Site (international designation of important wetlands through UNESCO).

Through our grassroots coalition, we developed a strategic campaign plan that can stop this harmful port project and create a protected area around Punta Conejo. We know that once a natural phenomenon like Punta Conejo is altered by industry, it is forever lost. We won't let this gem go down without a fight.
