10th Anniversary: The Battle for Laguna San Ignacio

Laguna San Ignacio, on the west coast of the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico is a World Heritage Site, a biosphere reserve, a whale sanctuary, a migratory bird sanctuary, and the last place on Earth where gray whales can breed and calve undisturbed by human intrusion. Recently, NRDC celebrated the 10th anniversary of the cancellation of the Mitsubishi saltworks project, a proposed joint venture with the Mexican government that was abandoned in March 2000 under intense pressure from Mexican and international environmentalists.
