ILCP, Yucatan Rapid Assessment Visual Expedition follow up


As you may remember last month, as part of the Yucatan Rapid Assessment Visual Expedition (RAVE), we had two reknown photographers from the ILCP (International League of Conservation Photographers) in our two Marine conservation bases, Pez Maya and Punta Gruesa.

The RAVE is now finished and after 4 months of work they are doing the final accounting of outcomes and focusing on further plans for all the materials that were produced during this expedition. One of the results is that they will give us a collection of images taken while on the Expedition so that we can use them locally and globally for conservation. Also, they are working hard to produce a final version of the Yucatan Wild Multimedia in both English and Spanish, which will be made available to all the partners as well.

Furthermore, CNN in Spanish will be producing a 30 minute piece on the RAVE using the images and interviews of the RAVE to call attention to development in the Yucatan. As you may know, CNN en Español is seen by over 30 million people in Mexico, Latin America, the US, Canada and Europe, which should be a great boost for the efforts! We are looking forward to it and will inform you when it is on.


On another note, if you would like to know more about the RAVE and what is going on with ILCP, it publishes every month a newsletter which we would like to share with you as there are very interesting news and images on it, just click here.

Finally, we would like to extend with all of you their grattitude letter to GVI and all volunteers that made it possible as official partners of this joint effort.
