Last week, TOP Mexico Real Estate was invited to the Riviera Maya University where Mr. Paul Sanchez gave a presentation regarding SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT in Mexico and how it is and can continue to be introduced here in the Playa del Carmen land growth and development that is occurring. Mr. Paul Sanchez administers the CEA, a non profit conservation organization based in Akumal. He helps to review the impact of the growth and development upon the environment. His goal is to share his know-how, the data he collects from the environment in order to help educate the government, the private sector, and all people the relations that exist between ecology and community development.
In the presentation he stated;
“Sustainable development is development that satisfies present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to satisfy their own needs.
The core principles that we need to work on are economic, social, and environmental, searching for equilibrium among the three.”
From here, he pointed out the importance of having adequate indicators introduced to the process in order to adequately measure changes in the system. Depending on the region or the specific environment in question will determine the type of indicators that must be implemented. Here in thePlaya del Carmen and the Riviera Maya region, the coral reefs, the sand dunes, the mangroves, cenotes, underground streams, the jungle, and the wild life that lives within are some of the Eco system that we must… protect while development occurs.
The Playa del Carmen real estate market is one of the fastest growing communities in Latin America.   With so many people being introduced to this region, it is hard to overlook the “shock” this trend is placing upon the eco system. I enjoyed listening and learning of this message that Mr. Paul Sanchez was transmitting. Paul has a large task set before him and many people I speak with feel their contribution will be too small and a mere drop in the bucket therefore insignificant.  But all actions (such as conserving water, ensuring your property’s drainage system, voicing your opinion with the public officials etc.) executed jointly and with persistence will make the difference.
What do you think?
Don’t our kids and our grand kids deserve an effort from us so they also can experience this … “paradise”?
