Pro Esteros
is a bi-national grass roots organization, devoted to the protection and
conservation of the wetlands of the Baja California peninsula. Pro Esteros
works towards wetland conservation by involving the communities and the
scientific expertise of their members in order to designate ecological
preserves.
Pro Esteros membership includes scientists, educators,
environmentalists and managers. Organizational activities involve communities
in educational and research projects that help develop a database of information
on local estuaries. This information can be used to help manage development
so that important biological resources are preserved. Pro Esteros works
to foster a sense of conservation for wetlands and estuaries.
