I have no skin in the game, but the following e-mail was forwarded to me today:

First of all I hope you are all doing great,
I am writing to deliver a message from our director Federico Godinez:
Dear friends of El Pinacate & Gran Desierto de Altar Biosphere Reserve.
We are aware of the genuine concern that the content of the website
http://www.rallydiabolico.com has generated to many of our friends, an event that seeks to make cross country rally supposedly in this region.
We want to express to you and the many friends of El Pinacate in the US, that the event is not authorized by the Federal Government or the Government of the State of Sonora and there is no formal request from any person or company. In case of such a petition is done in the future be assured that we have enough legal and formal elements to reject it.
We assure you: NO EVENT WILL BE HELD.
Much of the content of that website is purely speculative, starting with the logo of the government of the state of Sonora without their permission.
Again we appreciate your interest and affection for our Gran Desierto de Altar and we will inform you of any developments.
Very affectionate greetings to all.
attentively
Federico Godinez Leal
director

Best wishes,
Hector H. Munro

I have no idea about the validity of their claims to either stop the event or the use of government logos. Just passing on some information that may or may not impact this event. Take it for what it's worth.
