Local conservation civil association Conselvas, Costas y Communidades, is holding a fundraising dinner to promote the naming of Monte Mojino as a Protected Nature Reserve.

Monte Mojino, the most extensive natural reserve in Sinaloa, is located in the heart of the Sierra Madre Occidental where a program to protect the habitat of jaguars, the green guacamaya and the lechuguilla plant (an agave species) is being launched.

The dinner will be held on April 14 at 8pm at the El Presidio Restaurant in the Centro Historio. A tax deductible donation of 1,000 pesos per person will entitle you to a diversity of dishes prepared by well know local chefs Julián Portugal (El Parador Español), Luis Osuna and Ignacio Osuna (Panamá restaurants), Héctor Peniche (Hector´s Bistro), Marino Miranda (Pueblo Bonito) and Diego Becerra (owner of El Presidio Restaurant).

• Bisbee’s Fish & Wildlife Conservation Fund

Wayne Bisbee, tournament director of Bisbee’s Black & Blue Marlin Tournament in Cabo San Lucas, has donated $250,000 in seed money to the Bisbee’s Cabo Relief Fund. Donations will be routed through the Boulder City, Nevada, Rotary Club.

In addition, two other initiatives are under way. The non-profit volunteer group Club Dust will provide shelter, from tents to rebuilding homes. The organization has built more than 1,000 portable and permanent homes in Mexico in the past 33 years.

The second is to help sportsfishing operators get back on the water by repairing boats and replacing lost gear, through both loans and grants.
