E mālama iā Loreto Magical

Kapa ʻia kā mākou papahana ma laila E mālama iā Loreto Magical (KLM). He kuhikuhi kēia i ke kūlanakauhale ma ka papa inoa o ka Mexico Nā kūlanakauhale kilokilo. Ua manaʻo ʻia ka papa inoa e ʻike i nā wahi kūikawā i makemake ʻia i ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi a me nā malihini ʻē aʻe e mālama ana i nā ʻano ʻokoʻa o ka hoʻoilina kūlohelohe a me ka moʻomeheu Mexican.

Hoʻolako kālā nui ʻia e nā mea nona nā home expatriate mai ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a me Kanada, nāna i kūʻai i kā lākou mau hale i hoʻolālā ʻia a kūkulu ʻia i nā hale a me nā hale noho ma kahi kaiāulu hiki ke hele ma ka hema o ke kūlanakauhale i kapa ʻia ʻo 'Villages of Loreto Bay.' Mālama ʻia ʻo KLM e ke Kōmike Kūkākūkā o nā manawaleʻa āpau a mālama kālā ʻia e TOF. Hoʻokahi limahana limahana ʻo KLM, ʻo Ceci Fisher, he mea hoʻolaʻa kūlohelohe a me ka mea hoʻonohonoho kaiāulu nāna e hōʻoia i ka nui o nā mea manawaleʻa e hōʻike ana i nā hanana ākea: Mai ke kanu ʻana no ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana i ka dune, a hiki i ka hoʻopiha ʻana i nā pahu hua no ka Community Supported Agriculture polokalamu, e hoʻokuʻu i kahi booby polū-wāwae i hoʻoponopono ʻia. 

I ka pōkole, holomua a holomua nā hana KLM i ka wā maʻi maʻi. Me he mea lā, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā manawa e kōkua ai i ke kaiāulu e hoʻokele i nā ʻōpala, mālama ola kino, a me nā hana hoʻokele waiwai ma nā ala e kākoʻo ai i ka maikaʻi o nā kumuwaiwai kūlohelohe e hilinaʻi ai. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ke hoʻolālā nei mākou no ka ulu ʻana! Ua hoʻokipa mākou i nā lālā o ke Kōmike Kūkākūkā hou a hoʻoikaika hou i ka hōʻiliʻili kālā, kamaʻilio, a me ka pūnaewele. Ke hana nei mākou i ka hoʻolimalima ʻana i kahi ʻaelike ʻelua e lawe i kekahi o nā hana mai ka pā a Ceci. He mau pilikia maikaʻi kēia e hoʻoponopono ai.

Nā manawa hou a hoʻomau

I koʻu noho ʻana ma Loreto, ua hoʻomaopopo ʻia au i kahi manawa hou e kōkua ai i ka pale ʻana i ka nui o nā ola kai o ka ʻāina. Ua loaʻa iaʻu kahi hālāwai lōʻihi maikaʻi me Rodolfo Palacios ʻo ia ka Luna Hoʻokele hou o ka Loreto Bay National (marine) Park. Aia ka paka ma lalo o ka mana o ka National Commission for Natural Protected Areas (CONANP), ʻo ia kahi ʻāpana o Mexico's Secretariate for Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT). ʻO CONANP kahi hoa pili TOF nui, nona ka MOU e hana like ai ma nā wahi palekana moana. 

Ua wehewehe ʻo Señor Palacios e pilikia ana ʻo Loreto National Park i nā palena kālā i kaupalena ʻia ka hana a CONANP a hoʻemi i kona hiki ke hoʻohana i nā paka o Mexico. No laila, ʻo kekahi o kā mākou hana hou aʻe ma Loreto, ʻo ia ka huki ʻana i ke kākoʻo kūpono no ka Loreto Bay National Park e hoʻokele maikaʻi ʻia. ʻO ka papa inoa e hana koke ai e pili ana i ka ʻimi ʻana i kekahi mau keʻena a me nā lako kula ma ke ʻano he mau haʻawina; ka hāʻawi ʻana i kekahi kālā no nā kahu paka a me nā loea loea; a me ka hoʻohui ʻana i ka waihona kālā a KLM no nā kamaʻilio kākoʻo pāka, ka hoʻolaha kaiāulu, a me ka ʻike moana.
