From rainforests to deserts, Mexico boasts a wealth of species. Explore its biodiversity and the challenges of conservation with Mexicanist.
Biodiversity
Between 25 and 50 coral species are affected by tissue loss disease. A study published by the university professor and his team of collaborators, in the journal Communications Biology, reveals the devastating situation.
Biodiversity
During the winter months, there are several sightings of sea lions on the beaches of the Mexican Pacific. An interview with an expert on pinnipeds.
Biodiversity
This is how volcanic activity has been very important in shaping the Earth's surface, forming continents and islands, and transforming ecosystems.
Biodiversity
Mexico's biodiversity in its forests, jungles and other ecosystems must be protected, and why we must keep in mind that human beings are not the only ones who inhabit this planet.
Hurricanes
Floods caused by phenomena known as severe storms, incipient tornadoes, hailstorms, or hurricanes occur every year in some parts of Mexico during the rainy season. Get to know more.
Biodiversity
Human behavior eliminates the Earth's capacity to self-regulate its processes. From 2010 to 2019, China, the USA, the EU, the UK, and India contributed 55 percent of greenhouse emissions. The crucial question is how to save our species.
Biodiversity
Heat island effects must be mitigated as well as climate change. It is a phenomenon that occurs in urban areas where high temperatures are registered due to human activity.
Cuisine
Because it is rich in dietary fiber and minerals, but low in fat, green beans are considered a recommended food for consumption by people with obesity.
Biodiversity
Consumed fresh, the ripe yellow nanche fruit has a slightly cheesy aroma and a characteristic sweet and sour flavor. The consumption of this fruit promotes health due to its composition of fiber, vitamin C and carotenoids.
Biodiversity
Most spiders have venom glands, but do you know what they use them for? The small venom they transmit and the size of their mouthparts make them harmless to us.
Biodiversity
Why can an animal be as hard as a rock, grow in so many different shapes, and have so many different colors? The corals, what are they?
Biodiversity
Glaciers in Mexico form in areas above five thousand meters, such as the volcanoes Popocatépetl (smoking mountain), Iztaccíhuatl (sleeping woman), and Citlaltépetl (star mountain or Pico de Orizaba).
Biodiversity
Although they are key green belts for maintaining hydrological ecosystem services, they lack a relevant place on the political agenda permanently. Participatory forest restoration considers the development of integral and collective processes.
Biodiversity
Experts in atmospheric sciences, climate change, sustainability, anthropology, and engineering explain the origin, consequences, and current situation of the water crisis. They also provide proposals to face this problem.
Biodiversity
Small fishermen suffer from irregular fishing, lack of social protection, and budget cuts. Climate change causes variations in the biological structure of some marine species and the migration of others.
Biodiversity
There are records of tornadoes in Mexico since the Conquest. They occur in Coahuila, Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, Tlaxcala, Puebla, State of Mexico; even in the capital of the Republic.
