Paradise To Be Disappeared.
Personal memory by Edgar Cortes
2016 • Isla Holbox, Quintana Roo, Mexico
The estimated population of this paradise is of 1,400 people. But this beautiful island in the Caribbean is in danger because of the grow of tourism this last couple of years, with an estimate of 20,000 tourists on summer. This increases the production of its garbage, affecting the land, ocean, and birds.
