Reality and constraints of a biological corridor in the central zone of Mexico

The Central Valley (central area) of Mexico is a priority zone for the conservation of biodiversity because of its highly diverse fauna and flora. Although it holds many protected natural areas, it is under high anthropic pressure: mining activities, agriculture expansion and urban sprawl of large conurbations (Mexico City D.F. and Toluca).
