Oaxaca records massive death of turtles on its beaches; ask to declare an environmental emergency

The last time a similar case was recorded was in February 2016, when the phenomenon of the red tide killed 180 turtles

By SDP NEWS

Luis Castillo began the year with the sighting of at least 100 dead dead turtles floating in the sea. His heart crushed. He counted them on a 10-kilometer route between Boquilla and Ventanilla, Oaxaca.

The last time the boatman saw a similar show was in February 2016, when the phenomenon of the red tide killed 180 turtles, according to official data.

In addition to Luis's sighting, another 40 dead turtles were reported on Mazunte Beach from last December 24 and until the first day of the year 2020. “In the sand the bodies and in the air a stinking smell,” said Gerardo, a witness who for now works in a tourist center.

Although the numbers are close to the total dead turtles reported in 2016 and that it is an endangered species, the authorities have not yet declared the environmental emergency.

"And it could get worse," they say at the Mexican Center of the Turtle and one of the few places that are attending the emergency. and one of the few specialists who are attending the emergency. He prefers to omit his name because the authorities that should attend the emergency have not authorized to give information. For example, Denisse Bermudez, in charge of the office of the Mexican Tortoise Center, is on vacation.

“The females are nesting these days, once they finish they go to the sea to feed. For now pure males have died ”

Why do turtles die in Mazunte, Oaxaca?

The cause is the phenomenon of red tide, when the sapid - transparent animals with jelly-like appearance - feed on contaminated microalgae. The turtles eat those "salps", become intoxicated and paralyzed. "In the end they die drowned," they conclude.

Luis and other boatmen have given themselves the task of rescuing the turtles they find floating in the sea. In two weeks he has taken 18 copies in critical condition, but only 10 have survived.

"It is necessary that they make a rescue team, that is dedicated to take them out of the sea and cure them," he says in an alarmed tone and proposes as a volunteer, willing to pause his work as a tourist guide and fisherman, and thus put his time and his skills at the service of the brown turtle.

In the Mexican Center of the Turtle they have a single engine that pushes a boat to carry out tasks of search and rescue of the turtles, but it is broken, workers report. They also require gasoline and resources for labor.

In addition, medications such as antibiotics, antihistamines and serums are needed, additionally life jackets to wrap the turtles and float in the pools of the Center while they are detoxified.

Getting what is necessary to deal with the emergency sounds difficult for a center that is “forgotten”, the same worker responds. The institution depends on the National Commission of Protected Areas, but on the Chiapas Region, not Oaxaca, where it is located.

In the streets of Mazunte, San Agustinillo, Zipolite and Puerto Ángel, the turtle is a recurring theme, these days almost everyone has seen a dead turtle floating in the sea or on the beaches.

Visitors to the Mexican Tortoise Center especially attend to see the few who have been rescued wrapped in life jackets or floating on pieces of unicel in the fight for not dying. It is a strange phenomenon in a place where you fight because they live.

In the case of sea turtles, “it is an emergency and a tragedy that only one dies,” concludes Luis.

Hiking the Huge Mountains of Mexico City: Izta-Popo National Park

AUG 13

Posted by Ted Campbell

Unless you’re looking out of an airplane window, you might not even notice that Mexico City is surrounded by mountains, including the second and third highest in the entire country. You can see the green slopes and sometimes snow-capped peaks off in the distance when you finally escape the dense neighborhoods of the mega-metropolis.

At least ten national parks are within driving distance of the the city, meaning hiking trails, ziplines, ATM rentals, old ruined convents, waterfalls, caves, and expanses of pine forest. You might even get lucky and see animals like weasels, the tiny teporingo rabbit, white-tailed deer, long-tailed wood partridges, horned lizards, tarantulas, and rattlesnakes. Don’t be afraid of these last two–they’ll leave you alone if you leave them alone.

What you should make you cautious, however, are badly-marked trails and some safety issues, especially robberies. So if you want to go hiking near Mexico City, go in a group, stay on the most obvious trails, and come prepared with rain gear, layers of warm clothing, food, and lots of water. Also, choose a national park where you must pay an entrance fee and can park in an official parking lot, which will greatly reduce (if not eliminate) the possibility of criminals on the trail.

If the trail takes you high into the mountains, even better. For all these reasons, Itza-Popo National Park is probably the best for a day of hiking near Mexico City. I’ll write about other places in later posts, like the Cubres de Ajusco and Nevado de Toluca national parks.

You’ll need a car to get to there, or else pay for a long taxi or uber ride. Driving there is straightforward–just follow directions on Waze or Google Maps to the Paso de Cortés (Cortés’s Pass), where the park entrance is located. Get up early; the best light for photographs is in the morning, and rain is most likely in the afternoon, especially in summer.

Izta-Popo National Park

The two tallest mountains next to Mexico City, which are also the second and third highest in the country, are actually volcanos, one active and one long extinct. Active Popocatépetl has that classic cone with a wisp of smoke coming from the crater, while Iztaccíhuatl has a rocky, broken peak that gives few obvious clues to its volcanic origins.

Both of these pre-Hispanic names are quite a mouthful, so they’re usually abbreviated as Popo and Izta (pronounces EES-ta). They were revered as gods by the native Mexica, along with neighboring peak Tlaloc, named after the rain god.

In the Nahuatl language, Popocatépetl means “mountain that steams,” as it’s been active since ancient times. Iztaccíhuatl means “white woman”–like many mountains in the world, people have identified the features of a reclining body in its crags and cliffs.

Popo is off-limits to hiking because of regular activity; big eruptions happened most recently in 2000 and 2005, and it ejects long columns of smoke nearly every day. So the spot for hiking is on Izta, a long, arduous and high-altitude hike that’s only for the experienced and in good shape.

A less difficult hike is the Alpino trail, which follows the saddle between the two mountains. It begins at the parking lot at the entrance to the park and ends at La Joya, the name for the area that has the parking lot for the trail up Izta. Cars can take a winding dirt road to La Joya; the Alpino trail is roughly parallel to it but follows a higher ridge, with the road mostly out of sight.

Hiking Alpino takes about two hours each way, there and back, and has great views of both mountains. If you have enough time, you can continue up the trail to Itza for an hour or two for more great views and a taste of big-mountain experience.

When you arrive, first visit the park office to register and pay the 57-peso per-person fee. Then you can decide whether to start on the Alpino trail right there or continue driving to La Joya, where the hike up Itza begins.

The park office is located at the Paso de Cortés (Cortés’s Pass), named after the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés, who crossed it in 1519 after leaving Cholula, the nearby pre-Hispanic capital where he and his men had slaughtered between 5,000 and 6,000 people. Legend has it that, on the way, some of his men climbed Popo to collect sulfur for gunpowder for their canons and rifles. Then they descended into the Valley of Mexico to eventually conquer Tenochitlan, the island city that’s now the central part of Mexico City.

Yes, it’s a long story, and a fascinating one.

Today, a bumpy dirt road leads down the mountain slopes from the Paso de Cortes to Cholula, one of the most attractive towns in the area, with its yellow church built atop a massive, mostly unexcavated pyramid that resembles a hill. So, a nice two-day trip is an early morning hike in the national park, a twisty downhill drive to Cholula, and an evening and next morning exploring the town. You could also visit the city of Puebla right next to Cholula, making for a weekend of dramatic nature, pleasant towns, great food, and astounding history.
