A small bird walks across the natural salt flats on the shores of Laguna San Ignacio, Baja California Sur, Mexico. In 2000, thanks to national and international pressure, the Mexican government cancelled a joint venture with Mitsubishi subsidiary ESSA (Exportadora de Sal, S.A) to establish the largest industrial salt evaporation facility in the world. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site and part of the Vizcaino Biosphere Reserve, the lagoon is the last undeveloped gray whale birthing area on the planet.
