LOCAL CONSERVATION
The Significance of Conservation in Isla Mujeres
Isla Mujeres is home to diverse marine species, which are essential for the ecosystem and eco-tourism. Conservation measures can protect them from overfishing, pollution, and habitat destruction. Natural habitats like mangroves and wetlands are crucial for biodiversity and regulating the ecosystem. Unsustainable tourism can harm the environment and local communities, so promoting sustainable tourism practices can ensure the benefits of tourism for both the economy and the environment for many years to come.
