Baja California Sur reaffirms its critical role as a sanctuary for endangered sea turtles on International Turtle Day in May 2026, with experts urging protection for nesting beaches.

The biodiversity of Baja California Sur is facing a critical moment. Researchers and conservationists have issued a worrying warning this May 2026: the population of the Belding's Yellowthroat (Mascarita Peninsular), a small and vibrant bird that is strictly endemic to our state, has dropped to alarming levels, with an estimated 2,000 individuals left in the wild. This figure places the species in a position of extreme vulnerability, depending entirely on the health of the fe

Scientists warn of the extinction danger of the Peninsular Yellowthroat due to a new gas pipeline project in BCS. The work threatens the San José Estuary, the unique habitat of this endemic bird, in a critical conflict between energy and conservation in 2026.

A study led by UC Santa Cruz and published in *Science* reveals an alarming 40% decline in megafauna (sharks, rays, totoabas) in the Gulf of California over 80 years, mainly due to overfishing. Experts urge strengthening conservation to reverse the trend.

A nest of a Leatherback turtle, the world's largest species and in danger of extinction, was located and secured by CONANP in La Ribera, Los Cabos. This exceptional find, occurring in the Cabo Pulmo area, contained 65 eggs that are now under protection. The event highlights the importance of BCS as a sanctuary for marine biodiversity.
