An internet site is showing Mazatlán’s three famous island as for sale. The poster says the islands, known as Deer, Wolf, and Bird, are for sale for $144 million.

The advertisement said the islands, which comprise 118 hectares, are privately owned.
Access to one of the islands, Bird Island, is prohibited because it is the home for hundreds of local and migratory birds.

The government of Sinaloa has not commented on the advertisement, but Ángel Garcia, Director of Ecology for the city of Mazatlán, was reported as saying, “Article 27 of the Constitution states that the islands are property of the Nation.”
