"MEXICO CITY — Officials this week announced the creation of 13 new protected
areas across six states in Mexico, putting the country’s list of total
federally protected areas at 200.

Mexico introduced six new national parks and seven “flora and fauna protection
areas” covering 17,918 hectares (44,276 acres) to be overseen by the National
Commission of Protected Natural Areas (Conanp). The commission said it expects
to declare three additional protected areas by the end of the month.

“It gives us much pleasure that in this administration…we can leave behind such
a grand legacy for the Mexican people,” said secretary of the environment and
natural resources María Luisa Albores González at a press conference."
