Sian Ka'an: a new biosphere reserve model in Mexico
The biosphere reserve of Sian Ka'an is considered as the only viable alternative for the conservation of natural resources in Quintana Roo, since the exploitation of wildlife and vegetation is both essential and forms part of the cultural background of the native inhabitants. Sian Ka'an comprises terrestrial, marine and freshwater ecosystems which are representative of the Mesoamerican and West Indian regions. The reserve is located in the east central part of the Yucatan Peninsula and represents more than 10 of the territory of Quintana Roo. Its most outstanding characteristic is its management form, known as the "Modalidad Mexicana" (The "Mexican Modality"), in which those people considered inhabitants of the reserve and the surrounding areas should act as the main protectors and managers of the resources, and are also the first to receive any benefits accruing. Federal, state, and municipal governments, research institutions, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and local inhabitants are all involved in the administration of the reserve.
