Enrique Hambleton
La Paz, Baja California Sur
With exceptional commitment, Enrique Hambleton has been a leader in
environmental education and conservation. As a founding member of
PRONATURA, a Mexican conservation organization, and Sociedad de Historia
Natural Niparajá, La Paz, he has promoted the preservation of
irreplaceable natural places. A recognized authority on the aboriginal
rock art and paintings of the Baja California peninsula, Enrique's work
was instrumental in the designation of the Sierra San Francisco as a
UNESCO World Heritage site. Enrique also devotes time to the San Diego
Natural History Museum's binational advisory board.
I am continually amazed by Baja California's beauty and diversity.
After photographing it for over twenty-five years, I have barely mined
the richness of imagery it contains.... Time spent in the field visiting
its people, places, and creatures has been a rare privilege. It compels
me to help raise awareness about the region's frail, delicate, and
valuable nature.
