El Paso County Commissioners Sign International Park Resolution

Tuesday the El Paso County Commissioners Court passed a resolution which supported both the United States and Mexican government from establishing an International Commission to help advance the idea of an International Park, where both the Big Bend area and adjacent region in Mexico join as one. Rick LoBello, a member of the County Eco-Tourism committee spoke to Commissioners on behalf of the resolution.

The resolution comes on the heals of a joint meeting between U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and Mexican Minister of Environment and Natural Resources Juan Elvira strengthening conservation cooperation in Big Bend area of the U.S. - Mexico Border.

The resolution was signed by all commissioners except Judge Cobos who was absent. Click on the image below to enlarge.
