Water in BCS's Eastern Cape
Three years ago we began a collaboration with the Baja Coastal Institute (BCI) to survey water issues to inform citizen action, improve policy, and prepare youth leaders through the public schools. The result is our recently-released East Cape Citizens’ Water Report.
Clean Air and Clean Energy
The Center for Renewable Energy and Environmental Quality (CERCA), with San Francisco-based ACLIMA’s technology, has the best science-based, citizen-led air quality monitoring and reporting in the state capital of La Paz where most of the state’s power…
Invasive Species Removal
Healthy, diverse natural ecosystems are vital to all life. But human occupation often brings with it hard-to-control, non-native plant and animal species that can become invasive and detrimental to native species and ecosystems.
Boca Del Alamo Community and Resource Restoration Initiative
In Boca del Álamo, the community has adopted a collaborative and sustainable approach, building on and diverging from the Cabo Pulmo model. While Cabo Pulmo's marine park became a global symbol…
Biodiversity Mapping
The status and distribution of the East Cape's terrestrial biodiversity using all available databases has never been mapped. Two years ago LegacyWorks, Pronatura and members of Cabo Pulmo Vivo Coalition began to assemble the data.
Watershed Study / Citizen’s Water Report
In partnership with the Baja Coastal Institute, we have completed a thorough investigation of water resources in the four watersheds that make up the greater Cabo del Este region between La Paz and Los Cabos.
Regenerative Development Working Group
To support sustainable coastal development, LegacyWorks is facilitating a diverse working group of community leaders, environmental advocates and developers to dialogue toward consensus on a technically rigorous conservation-based vision for the East Cape.
Public Policy
Land use planning policies in both Los Cabos and La Paz municipalities (which overlap in Cabo del Este) lag behind the realities of current development and represent scant protection for critical environmental or social values.
Cabo Pulmo Vivo Coalition
The Cabo Pulmo Vivo Coalition is a vital partnership of several environmental organizations that share the commitment to conserve, protect and restore the East Cape region, especially to safeguard the integrity of Cabo Pulmo National Park.
East Cape Impact Expedition
In November 2019, 60+ engaged actors explored Baja California Sur’s Cabo del Este region aboard the MV Sea Lion. The journey was designed to engage and harness the collective wisdom of participants.
