| About SAVE |
SAVE, Society of Akumal's Vital Ecology, was founded in 1998. Mangrove damage, reducement, and degration due to rapid tourism growth started taking place in the Riviera Maya of Mexico and it was mandatory that we take action.
SAVE's mission is to keep our unique and fragile ecology safe from the dangers of non-substainable development, for the future of our children and for upcoming generations.
Here at SAVE, we are focusing our efforts to stop the ecological devastation that has been underway along the Quintana Roo Coastline of the Yucatan Peninsula. The fragile ecosystem includes the spectacular water filled caves and caverns (cenotes), the thriving mangroves, the beach bluff, and the fringing reef.
The current overdevelopment is out of control, with no consideration for the future. We need to work together (concerned citizens and the goverment) to protect the enviornment. The time to act is NOW! |
