Over the past few months we have been communicating with a wide variety of friends, colleagues and conservation groups about a new grassroots effort to resurrect the Rotary International Proposal from 1998 asking the US and Mexico to establish the long proposed US and Mexico International Park in the Big Bend area of Texas and northern Mexico.

Earlier this summer Rick LoBello updated the Peace Park section of the website he created seven years ago to help promote the international park at www.iloveparks.com/peaceparks.  If you are unfamiliar with the project you can learn more through several layers of informative pages including media stories, reports and a map. In the coming months we hope to add many more documents to the site to further help move the proposal back into the public arena.

If you would like to join an informal group of people from the US, Mexico and other parts of the world interested in helping to establish the US Mexico international park you can send an email to rickllobello@cs.com indicating that we can count on your support as a member of the United States/Mexico International Park Association.  To interact with others interested in this project you can post comments on a new blogspot at http://iloveparks.blogspot.com.  Rick will help keep the conversation going by making sure the international park topic is always easy to find near the top of the page.

Please ask others on your email list to join this group. We need people will want to help see the US/Mexico International Park become a reality.
