Mediterranews (English) JUNE 2017 | Page 2

CREDITS Message from the Executive Director T he newsletter Mediterranews was created in April 2016 in order to become a reference publication on conservation subjects in Baja California, as well as to provide a space for researchers to publish about their projects. To date, we have published seven issues of this bimonthly magazine and we are more than happy with the results and for having faithful readers, who enjoy relevant and interesting content in every issue of Mediterranews, on its digital or printed version. As a way to reaffirm our commitment to the environment, I am proud to announce that from now on you will find the Spanish version of this newsletter printed on 100% recycled paper and vegetable based inks. In addition, these copies will be distributed in different sites of Ensenada and San Quintín, in Baja California. We continue working so this newsletter migrates to other cities in Mexico because we want to spread our environmental work and promote conservation awareness to a larger audience. Likewise, with the pages of Mediterranews we want to show the world our actions to protect the unique landscapes of our beloved Baja California, so that they remain preserved for the enjoyment of present and future generations.
