The 18th Anniversary of Xcacel-Xcacelito was celebrated on 22 February 2016. The event was attended by Tulum Muncipal President David Balam Chan, Director of Biological Reserve Garden of Eden Dr. Marco Antonio Lazcano Barrero, Head of the Department of protected nature at Xcacel Emanuel Peace Pérez, Director of Centro Ecológico Akumal Hector Antonio Lizarraga Cubedo. Presentations were given about the state of the turtle sanctuary and the preservation of the jaguar in Quintana Roo. Xcacel-Xcacelito is monitoring jaguar activity in the area between it and Xel-Ha.
Chan Chemuyil Home Owners Club is loaning an ATV for the assistance of this program. The ATV will be used to change batteries and HD cards in the night vision cameras posted in the jungle. Chan Chemuyil HOC has spent many years building a relationship to support Xcacel-Xcacelito. Employees of Xcacel were presented with certificates for completion of their training on operation, predictive and preventive maintenance of quads. Wonderful work is being done not only for the preservation of sea turtles, but also for the endangered jaguar at the National Park right in our backyards!
