(ENGLISH BELOW)

 

Puerto Escondido y sus alrededores están experimentando un desarrollo masivo y acelerado.

 Desafortunadamente, muchos de estos proyectos, aunque aprobados políticamente, no están debidamente evaluados a favor del desarrollo urbano sostenible, ni consideran el impacto ambiental, que en muchos casos puede ser catastrófico para el ecosistema local.

 Con la apertura de la nueva carretera Oaxaca - Puerto Escondido, la afluencia de turismo seguirá aumentando, afectando la infraestructura de la costa: vialidad, escasez de agua, drenaje, espacios públicos; sin mencionar toda la flora y fauna que están siendo removidas de su hábitat natural para construir hoteles, edificios de departamentos y desarrollos inmobiliarios de gran escala. Sin duda, esto afecta en gran medida el ecosistema costero y amenaza directamente a uno de los destinos de surf más importantes del mundo, sin mencionar la calidad de vida de todos los que viven aquí.

 Estos megaproyectos dañan los ecosistemas, la cultura y la vida comunitaria de los pueblos originarios, trayendo como consecuencia escasez de recursos naturales, obstrucción de vías públicas, inseguridad, contaminación de todo tipo, extinción y vulnerabilidad de especies protegidas y en peligro de extinción.

SOS Puerto fue fundado para servir como una plataforma y movimiento educativo y legal que une a la sociedad civil con organizaciones, el sector público y privado para trabajar juntos para promover el desarrollo justo, sostenible, respetuoso y responsable en la costa de Oaxaca.

 SOS Puerto reúne a empresarios, restauranteros, hoteleros, profesionales, ciudadanos y a todos los que formamos parte de la comunidad de Puerto Escondido, habiendo nacido, crecido  o simplemente vivido aquí y viendo como año tras año el crecimiento de este paraíso.

 El objetivo es unir esfuerzos con el sector público, desarrolladores, inversionistas y constructores para repensar cómo estamos abordando el desarrollo en la costa oaxaqueña preservando la flora y fauna, los usos y costumbres y la esencia del lugar.

Durante el mes de marzo de 2022, SOS PUERTO movilizó a cientos de miembros de la comunidad para detener la extracción de arena que transportaban camiones de volteo desde un sitio de desarrollo propuesto que se encuentra a solo unos metros de un santuario de tortugas. El desarrollo de unidades de condominio de 11 pisos y 80 departamentos sería el primero de su tipo en un tramo de costa que sentaría un precedente negativo para la región.

La acción fue rápida y exitosa: SOS Puerto, en asociación con muchas empresas locales y organizaciones comunitarias, presionó al gobierno municipal, quien luego votó unánimemente para detener la construcción hasta que se revisaran los permisos, las evaluaciones ambientales y la documentación. Las actividades realizadas incluyeron campañas de concientización pública, talleres educativos y mesas redondas, actividades artísticas y creativas para niños y adultos por igual, asesoría legal, limpieza de playas y más.

Si bien esta "victoria" es digna de celebración, la lucha está lejos de terminar.

Con tu apoyo podemos continuar con estas actividades para buscar alternativas más amigables con el ecosistema, utilizando materiales innovadores y desarrollos de bajo impacto ambiental.

Estamos en esto a largo plazo, el Puerto que conocemos y amamos está en peligro y necesitamos soluciones sustentables para un futuro justo para todos.

ENGLISH VERSION

Puerto Escondido and surrounding areas are currently experiencing a massive boom of development. 

 

With the opening of the new highway from Oaxaca - Puerto Escondido, the influx of tourism will continue to increase, affecting the infrastructure of the coast: roads, water shortages, drainage, public spaces; not to mention all the flora and fauna that are being removed from their natural habitat in order to build hotels, apartment buildings, and large-scale real estate developments. Without a doubt, this greatly affects the coastal ecosystem and directly threatens one of the world’s premier surf destinations, not to mention the quality of life for everyone who lives here. 

 

These megaprojects damage the ecosystems, culture, and community life of the native peoples, bringing as a consequence a lack of natural resources, obstruction of public roads, insecurity, pollution of all kinds, extinction, and vulnerability of protected and endangered species.

 

SOS Puerto was founded to serve as a platform and educational and legal movement that unites civil society with organizations, the public, and private sectors to work together to promote sustainable, respectful, and responsible development on the coast of Oaxaca.

 

SOS Puerto brings together entrepreneurs, restaurateurs, hoteliers, professionals, citizens, and all of us who are a part of the community in Puerto Escondido, having been born here, raised here, or simply lived here and seeing year after year the increased growth in this paradise. 

 

The goal is to join forces with the public sector, developers, investors, and builders to rethink how we're approaching development on the Oaxaca coast while preserving the flora and fauna, the uses and customs, and the essence of the place.

 

During  March 2022, SOS Puerto mobilized hundreds of community members to halt the extraction of sand that was being hauled by dump trucks from a proposed development site that is only meters away from a turtle sanctuary. The 11-story, 80+ condo unit development would be the first of its kind on an otherwise pristine stretch of coastline and would set a negative precedent for the region. 

 

The action was swift and successful - SOS Puerto, in partnership with many local business and community organizations, lobbied the municipal government who then voted unanimously to halt construction until permits, environmental assessments, and documentation were reviewed. Activities undertaken included public awareness campaigns, educational workshops and roundtables, art and creative activities for children and adults alike, legal advising, beach cleanups, and more. 

 

While this "win" is worthy of celebration, the fight is far from over. 

 

With your support, we can continue with these activities to seek alternatives that are friendlier to the ecosystem, using innovative materials and developments with low environmental impact. 

 

We're in this for the long run... the Puerto we know and love is in danger and we need sustainable solutions for a future that is for all of us.
