Conserving Habitats & Special Places
Our donors are instrumental in helping KLM conserve the wildlife, habitats and places that are special to the people and visitors of Loreto.

Nopolo Park
A Decade of Determination, A Legacy of Protection
After more than ten years of tireless advocacy, community organizing, and environmental stewardship, our vision became reality: Nopoló Park and Loreto II Park were officially designated national parks by Presidential decree — a monumental win for Loreto and for conservation in Mexico.
This protected area safeguards the biodiversity and critical habitats of the Sierra La Giganta, preserves wetlands and aquifers that nourish our region, and creates opportunities for eco-tourism and outdoor recreation that support local communities.
But our work isn’t done. Keep Loreto Magical remains deeply committed to the ongoing protection, maintenance, and responsible management of the parks — ensuring this natural treasure thrives for generations to come.
Estuary Care
Protecting Loreto’s Estuaries — Where Land, Sea, and Life Connect.
Estuaries are some of Loreto’s most vital and vulnerable ecosystems — where freshwater meets the sea, and life thrives in the balance. These natural habitats filter pollutants, reduce flooding, support fisheries, and shelter countless species of birds and marine life.
That’s why Keep Loreto Magical is committed to preserving, restoring, and protecting Loreto’s estuaries, with special attention to those threatened by pollution, development, or neglect.
One shining example of this work is the Playa La Negrita Estuary, where our cleanup and restoration efforts have transformed a once-troubled site into a thriving natural space once again. It’s a reminder of what’s possible when a community comes together to care for its coastline.
Coastal Restoration
Restoring Loreto’s Coast — One Dune at a Time.
Loreto’s coastal dunes are more than just beautiful landscapes — they’re natural defenses against erosion, nurseries for native plants and animals, and vital buffers that protect our shoreline from rising seas and storm damage.
But these delicate ecosystems are under threat from invasive species like buffel grass, an aggressive plant introduced from Africa that chokes out native vegetation and increases wildfire risk.
At Keep Loreto Magical, we’re tackling this challenge head-on through hands-on restoration efforts, including the ongoing removal of invasive plants and the replanting of native species that help our dunes recover. Just as important, we’re building awareness among coastal residents and visitors — empowering our community to help protect and restore Loreto’s fragile dune ecosystems.
Wildlife Rescue
Rescue. Rehabilitate. Release. Repeat.
From injured sea lions to stranded blue-footed boobies, every animal counts in Loreto’s fragile ecosystem — and this year alone, Keep Loreto Magical has helped rescue and release over 15 wild animals, including mule deer, snakes, spiny thorn lizards, seagulls, cormorants, foxes, hawks, and even rare babisuris (ringtailed cats).
Each rescue tells a story — of habitat stress, human-wildlife encounters, or marine debris — and each one is a chance to protect biodiversity, restore balance, and show compassion in action.
Working alongside local residents, biologists, and volunteers, our team responds when animals are in danger — providing care, coordinating safe releases, and educating the community on how to help wildlife in need.
