Mexico's Sonora and Tamaulipas launch coastal clean‑up and turtle‑hatchling initiatives

In the Sonoran coastal towns of Bahía de Kino and Punta Chueca, the Kino Limpio y Seguro patronage organized a series of beach clean‑ups, mangrove reforestation and estuary sanitation. Volunteers, local residents and 30 students from Colegio de Bachilleres collected about 600 kg of waste and planted native vegetation to protect the shoreline during the busy summer season.

In Tamaulipas, the state Commission of Parks and Biodiversity released dozens of hatchlings of the endangered turtle lora at the La Pesca Turtle Camp. The event involved 40 primary‑school pupils, 20 teachers and parents, and included an educational briefing on the species’ life cycle and conservation measures. Both programs aim to foster environmental education and safeguard local biodiversity.
