Yucatan Diving & TravelRecently in the international news was a note about an explosion that kill and hurt a lot of people in a Hotel in the Mayan Riviera, this was because the hotel restaurant was built in top a of a cave that was seal during construction, gases accumulate over time and Kaboon, you have an explosion sadly as it is, we shut take a moment of reflexion about this; Which part of changing mother nature has a price we don't understand, the natural harmony that the elements have is for a reason, the old Mayan civilization and all other civilizations of the past knew that, except modern man, we still believe that we can adulterated the environment with out consequences, that we can destroy in the name of progress and evolution, in reality is all about MONEY. Around the area that I grew up is spectacular to see all the construction that is going on, massive hotels with big golf courses, pools, restaurants, etc; that is not bad, is just that in the process they wipe out entirely ecosystems consisting of mangroves and sand dunes in the water front which is the natural barrier for erosion of the beaches, you can take Cancun as example where is no beach left, not to mentioned that is a natural filter for all the water that goes to the ocean, as well as habitat for hundreds of species of flora and fauna. The difference between the old civilizations and the modern one is that they knew where to built they studied the elements of nature to make the settlements for the people by the people to the people in harmonious way with nature, so people and nature can co exist, having the perfect relationship, nature provide what is need it to have a good life, they took what nature give to the them with respect, not in abundance, being sure that something is left for tomorrow; today is take as much as you can because the people behind is gonna take more than you, is all about me, not about us, see the difference? a room with a nice view has more value for some people, that the preservation of the place an culture, the interesting point is that most of the people that owns those places don't leave there, weren't born there, and will never leave there, they not even know the culture. Is just business; I really hope that one day with learn to respect the place that we leave ; Mother nature after all we only have one mother. In yucatandivingtravel.com we use local business that work together with nature. Do you part today
