The protection of Loreto’s many estuaries falls squarely within KLM’s mission, and in some cases, our help arrives just in a nick of time. Recently, one of the estuaries north of Loreto has received lots of attention from KLM.

Playa la Negrita is literally translated as The Bold Beach, aptly named for its bold beauty and abundant sea life. It is a recreational public beach enjoyed by local families, visitors and aquatic enthusiasts. Keep Loreto Magical Foundation staff help preserve this coastal treasure.

Meet Li (short for "liebre" -- which means "jackrabbit" in Spanish). Li is a baby jackrabbit and the newest patient at KLM’s wildlife rescue sanctuary. Amazingly, it turns out that Li the jackrabbit has something in common with the 18th century Venetian composer Antonio Lucio Vivaldi.
