If this company actually believed any of the things they're stating on their website, they would be working to preserve this extraordinary site rather than destroying it. This is a clear example of how developers have appropriated the language of "green" as a strategy to distract from what they're real intentions are: to extract maximum profits while robbing local communities of their most valuable natural and cultural resources. Punta Banda has many important archaeological sites which could deepen our understaning of thousands of years of human history in the larger region (including southern California) but the vast majority of these will be destroyed if the developers are allowed to proceed. The spectacular natural biodiversity and landscapes will be destroyed to enrich a few US billionaires. A few crumbs will be thrown back to the local community to buy off some local support and use for promotional purposes. But you can help make a difference!
