The Conscious Efforts To Protect And Conserve The Mangrove Trees In Yucatan Mexico

By Frank D. Gardner


Preservation Or Tourism

Tourism in the Yucatan in Mexico is seen to conflict with the conservation and presentation of the Yucatan's natural resources. Mangroves are indeed beautiful trees and they add very ideal housing for fisheries. The new resorts built have caused mangroves to take a hard hit. With the improvement in converting the land into commercial centers and resorts, the Mangroves of the land are really being destroyed to give way for the resort areas. The Mangroves have several environmental benefits which if preserved will still be a good thing to the land. In Yucatan roughly 70 percent of the coastal fisheries are dependent on the Mangrove trees as well as the environment they make. If ever the Mangroves are properly conserved there will be enough fish for the people.

One opportunity to protect the biodiversity of the environment with several medicinal plants, reptiles along with the native birds of the environment that is being protected is through the conservation of mangroves. This area is additionally protected against erosion by the mangrove vegetation. The Mangroves also provide the ability of safeguarding the area from severe weather. This is considered to be reliant on the intensity of the storm which goes to the area and also the level of conservation initiatives of the Mangrove forest. The mangrove roots crawl across the ground and they'll survive in water in order to generate an ideal breeding ground for crustaceans and fishes.

There's a lot to get from conservation attempts of the Mangrove forest in Yucatan if the conservation laws are followed by the citizens and government of Mexico, in the Yucatan. The Mangrove forest can provide a lot of resources. There are a lot of things that are generated by the trees for example the timber products which are for both personal and industrial use and from this wood may come firewood, charcoal, cellulose for paper amongst others. The human activities are the ones threatening the mangrove forests.

Actions Taken Up By The Mexican Government

The government of Mexico has established the Mangrove management acts to be regulated by the Mexican officials. The management acts set forth by the Mexican government were meant to specify the regulations for the ecological preservation, restoration and also conservation of the coastal humidity in the Yucatan Mangrove regions. This all is supposed to guarantee the protection of the Mangrove forest by regulating that any alteration made to the Mangroves have to be followed so as to make sure the condition of the Mangrove as well as the environment for the most part. In the steps used to sustain the Yucatan Mangroves, an article was added onto the Wildlife General Law to produce all the different legalized apparatus that may enhance the environmental regulators.

In general, this prohibition was meant to prevent the effects of the tourism projects scheduled to be built which will cause a negative impact to the Mangrove forest as well as the environment. Needless to say, just like any new laws passed there were things to impede the conservation attempts. The noncompliance of some government officials and the citizens of the country was in fact one very crucial hindrance. There are many reactions to the laws which were enacted so as to conserve the Yucatan Mangrove. In summary, the laws and also the reactions will figure out how effective the conservation attempts will probably be for the Yucatan.
