Centro
Ecologico Sian Ka'an (CESiaK) is located on the Caribbean Coast of
Mexico, near the Mayan Ruins of Tulum, south of Cancun. A small ecotourism
and education center, it serves as a model for sustainable development
in sensitive tropical ecosystems. The revenue generated through tours,
fishing, beautiful accommodations, and various on-site activities
is used to fund conservation and education programs within the Sian
Ka'an Biosphere Reserve. The Center operates using ecologically responsible
technologies, including systems for wetland waste management, rainwater
collection, and solar and wind energy generation. It also operates
educational outreach programs and biological research. CESiaK provides
a model for other sustainable development projects as well as an informational
resource for the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve. |
