A few months ago Ah Cacao mass-printed a "Green Guide for the Responsible Traveler" created by our friends at Mexiconservación. Finally we had the idea of creating PDF versions and posting them to the website for the world to enjoy (without cutting down any trees):

The Green Guide for the Responsible Traveler

El Guía Verde para el Viajero Responsable (in Spanish)

For more information about conservation in the Riviera Maya, be sure to visit Mexiconservación's website, and consider making a donation to help protect the natural "paradise" that attracts so many visitors every year.
