El Hijo del Santo
El Hijo del Santo
Star of Professional Mexican Wrestling
El Hijo Del Santo is an iconic star of Mexican wrestling, and now, he says, the time has come for his character, to act. He is calling on all icons, artists, and role models of the world to unite and become guides leading the way to a sustainable future.
He has been the spokesperson for the non-profit organization WiLDCOAST since 2007 and he has been building grassroots support that spans across the Californias and Latin America. One of the projects he is most passionate about is the clean-up of the Tijuana River Valley, between Mexico and the US, from waste and toxic pollution. The project demonstrates the pressing need for both nations to work together to find a solution for our global environmental challenges.
Santo also became a champion in the fight against turtle extinction and the survival of the gray whales.
El Santo explains that Nature is not aware of geographic boundaries. We all inhabit one single planet, and we all have the responsibility to take care of it.
El Hijo del Santo ("The Son of the Saint") is also one of the most successful stars in the free wrestling sport Lucha Libre. He is the son of the legendary professional wrestler, film actor and Mexican folk hero El Santo. The only one out of El Santo's eleven children to become a professional wrestler, El Hijo has wrestled all over the world and defeated an impressive number of wrestlers with 62 recorded victories.
Thank you Santo!
