BIOSPHERE RESERVE
Sian Ka'an (Maya for "Where the sky is
born") was established as a biosphere reserve in 1986 and incorporated
into UNESCO's list of natural world heritage sites in 1987. Adjacent to
its southern border, the area for protection of flora and Fauna UAYMIL
was established in 1994. Covering toegether over 1.5 million acres along
the central coast of the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico, they comprise one
of the largest protected areas in Mexico.
The reserve is composed equally of semi
evergreen tropical forest, wetlands and savannas and marine habitat.
It is home to more than 345 species of
birds, including over one million wintering migratory song birds from the
U.S. and Canada and the rare Jabiru Stork.
All of the endangered cat species of southern
Mexico are found in Sian Ka'an, including jaguar, puma, ocelot, margay
and the jaguarundi, along with spider and howler monkeys, white-tipped
and collared peccary and tapir.
The wetlands and marine habitats shelter
the endangered Morelet's and American crocodile as well as manatee and
provides habitat for the green, loggerhead, hawksbill and leatherback sea
turtles.
Two large bays, a unique fresh water wetland
system and 60 miles of pristine coral reef is the enduring landscape used
by the ancient Maya civilization over two thousand years ago, as attested
to by the remains of approximately 27 Maya sites found within the reserve.
The Local Inhabitants
Less than 1% of the reserve is composed
of private land holings located in the coastal buffer zone, where sustainable
use of natural resources is permitted.
Of the less than 1,000 inhabitants living
within Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, most are concentrated in the two fishing
villages at Punta Allen and Punta Herrero, which depend primarily upon
the spiny lobster fishery.
Native Maya communities border the terrestrial
side of the reserve in the cooperative zone, didicated to forestry practices
and subsistence farming and hunting.
The Challange
Promote rational and sustainable use of
the natural resources which is compatible with the conservation of the
reserve and at the same time beneficial to the local inhabitants.
Integrate environmental policy in regional
development planning.
Involve the public throughout the state
into the Sian Ka'an project, with special emphasis on maintaining an active
relationship with educational centers.
