SAN JOSE DEL CABO, MEXICO—The last private preserve for nesting beaches of endangered sea turtles in Los Cabos is being threatened by a land dispute between the founder of environmental group ASUPMATOMA and a developer from Sinaloa, Mexico.
Rene Pinal, owner of the San Cristobal Nature Preserve and founder of the non-profit organization ASUPMATOMA (Association for the Environment and the Marine Turtle in Southern Baja) is battling a Sinaloa-based company from building on his property consisting of more than three miles of pristine shoreline.
