The Biodiversity of Mexico

Book Summary by: AcaDemon    


This paper explains that the impression that all of Mexico is hot and dry and made up of mostly rural societies is wrong.
The writer points out that the countery also contains icy mountain peaks as found in the Sierra Madre systems, lush jungles and agricultural regions as found in the temperate tierra templada and exquisite coastal zones along the Pacific Ocean and Baja California. The author explains that anthropologists have traditionally divided the ethnic categories of Mexico into two categories, the Indian and the Mestizo; today the majority of Mexican society is mestizo, one of the most distinctive sociological elements of Mexico. The paper relates that because of the variety of these topographical and geological regions, vast species of flora and fauna thrive despite the interference of the modern-day world.
