Project: Effect of human activities on water and land ecosystems
  Principal Researcher: Dr. Alejandro Manuel Maeda Martínez

The interactions of natural biological systems with human activities of the region entail impacts on biodiversity. This is why it is a priority to perform an assessment on the effect of human activities on biological diversity and good working order of the ecosystems. Species extinction and ecosystem degradation are increasing; different Mexican species have been driven or hunted to extinction and with the current trend, it is estimated that many populations and species will disappear even before they are known. It is also a priority to have a complete inventory of the genetic capital in our country ...

Project: Current and potential use of biotic resources
  Principal Researcher: Dr. Gustavo Alberto Arnaud Franco

A bad management of economically relevant species could entail their extinction and with it negative effects can be produced in local or regional economy. Thus, basic and applied knowledge on biotic resources is required for a rational management ...
