Biodiversity
Biodiversity is a word that comes from the Greek that means bio life and diversity well different, so it means different living organisms or as the definition says it is the Variety of life in an area that is determined by a number of different species in that area (Biggs et al, 2009).
In México de Biodiversity is very important because of the size of this American country, which contains a huge variety of different ecosystems and with it species and landscapes. For this reason in México the government created a special organism to take care of the biodiversity in the complete country and in each specific situation, this was named the Conabio.
Since the Conabio creation has been the collection, management, analysis and dissemination of information of our biodiversity the main aim of it. Such information is essential for making decisions regarding the use and conservation of biodiversity supported by scientific knowledge. To collect, organize and distribute this information is the National Biodiversity Information established (SNIB) of Mexico. (www.conabio.gob). So the importance of the biodiversity in the biosphere is to be aware to affect the other ecosystems with the actions of the humans by being excessive with the hunting, recollection and the interaction with other species, so in order to maintain an stability between species and ecosystems we need to take care of the balance in the biodiversity.
The Biodiversity is very important for humans because of the routine or circuit in their lives. Day by day the humans interact with the environment with the different activities. In México approximately the 40% of the population is dedicated to the Primary Economic Activity; this means get the main matter from the nature so later it can be transformed into an other object for example México is the number 1 in extraction of silver and also in transformed it into jewelry. In Yucatan the 3.6% of the PIB in the state is provided by the agriculture, the forestry and fishing. (http://www.sefoe.yucatan.gob.mx).
This is an important number and it has a reason of being that amount. If the people who practice the fishing in Progreso start fishing more lobsters that the necessary it will have a huge repercussion to the sea ecosystem, the food chain is perfectly adapted so the organisms can react in a certain way giving a balance to the ecosystem, that is why the fishers have an specific season in the year to fish certain species as Octopus Season, Lobster Season, and Sea-Snail Season. The organism that is in charged of giving the dates for the Seasons in Yucatan is the Conapesca from the Sagarpa. This organism says that the reason of the seasons in the fishing is that the fishers should give time to the species to reproduce and basing the season on their studies of how long it takes to the species to reproduce and to grow enough for its marketing.

In my opinion the best way of preserving the biodiversity is to have limits and specific laws that can help the people who is dedicated to this type of Economic Activity not only in Yucatan, also in each state depending on the environment of each region and state. For example in Yucatan as a solution to the huge damage that the hunters have done to the Deer in the state, the government should build and organize real reserves for the deer, the capybara, the hare and other animals that have been damaged in the population number and the food chain in each of their habitats. In Mexico there is a lot of freedom for the hunters who hunt in exes so they can sale the four, the deer feet, meat and other elements of the species they hunt. As well the government thinks that the ecologic parks as “The Centenary Zoo-Park” and now “The Animaya” are enough but they do not understand that it is just a Zoo – Park, not an Ecologic Reserve with all the needs of the species, to stay wild but at the same time to have bets and all the cares the animal need. Also more studies to each species of animal and plant so we all can be in harmony with all the diversity of organisms. Everything in excess is harmful, some laws were done to respect no to punish.
