Mexico is one of the most biologically diverse countries in the world, the landscapes are dominated by typical ecosystems in different regions and fused to make Mexico one of the three countries with the highest biodiversity on the Earth, along with Brazil and Indonesia, which together with these and other 10 countries which together hold about 70% of all varieties of plants, animals and microorganisms of the earth, they are called mega-diverse countries. The varied flora and fauna of Mexico is composed of more than25 000 species of plants, 530 000 species of mammals, 1,100 species of reptiles and amphibians, and 1 070 species of birds, and it ranks first in diversity of reptiles and amphibians, third in mammals and fourth floors. In fact Mexico has 10% of all global diversity, a fascinating fact considering that only has 1% of the land surface of the planet.
However, human activities have resulted in the destruction and fragmentation of natural ecosystems extensions that have affected more than 50% of the natural surface, destroying the natural fabric that is the basis of life.
The current extinction rates are up to 10 000 times higher than those that occurred in the past, over time, an unknown number of species disappearing from the face of the earth inevitably losing a fraction of our biological heritage accumulated over hundreds of millions of years of evolution, in Mexico, there are thousands of species of plants and animals threatened with extinction, reflecting an impoverished world than shoulder the famous biologist William Beebe, when a species dies, one world ends.
Conservation strategies have been grouped into different vector axis most notably those aimed at protecting endangered species, actions to mitigate climate change, desertification and sustainable development of society through actions of environmental education and communication minimize negative impacts and to enlighten the various sectors of the population by educational tripartition of the universe divided into formal, informal and formal.
But are young people who represent an opportunity in their strength for this great biodiversity, and they are one of the main tools for the conservation of biodiversity, and the proper development of the environment, but even when other methods have failed, first world countries as it is for this reason that in this diverse country we need to include young people by implementing a new way of preserving culture through the activities of youth and lead us to reflect on the current situation we face.
The youth participation in the international programs is vital for the proper development of young people and we are what we play a major role in this development.
Youth are without doubt one of the main drivers of humanity, they are the ones represents the future and they are the present, and in this current context in which Mexican society is immersed in a social crisis of violence, uprooting and environmental destruction where Youth play a key role in proper development and building a sustainable society, and a diverse country such as our Mexico.
That is why is that being young and working with youth is a key to bring up our diverse country.
In Mexico, thousands of young people living in deprived areas and also areas for the conservation of biodiversity, major problems facing every day, such as unemployment, lack of education, violence and environmental destruction.
Young people represent the present and the future of the planet, so working with them is very amount if we want to improve our world, Mexico is a country of young people with great intellect, but these young people are forced to migrate to EU A due to the lack of jobs and opportunities, the current political model is not conducive to the development of children and youth but Mexico is waking up and there is more and more interested in personal growth and community.
As youth work to marginalized communities of Mexico forming young leaders in the conservation of biodiversity, generating auntoempleo avoid the escape of intellect, restauramemos our biological heritage with leading model, creating a network in the future and thus making great benefits for the general population.
There are thousands of young indigenous Mexicans who want to excel in remote communities suffer a critical state of vulnerability, with a history of looting and bad social practices including lack of access to education and environmental destruction, caused a significant loss of biodiversity and the intrinsic benefits thereof. The model of economic and social development has failed so that biodiversity has been seriously affected and with it the indigenous communities, this coupled with global warming makes indigenous peoples and youth face a great responsibility because these people are and communities living ecosystems of high biodiversity and biological wealth which are most vulnerable to the effects of climate change, threatening the nature, culture and life of peoples.
Most of these communities face directly to climate change because they depend on and live in these ecosystems. In the State of Hidalgo, there are known areas of high poverty and vulnerability, which show a high rate of educational backwardness, lack of health services and include among other things, inadequate living conditions, it is in these areas where there is also the largest biological wealth of the state, so the strategies that will improve these inadequate social conditions will also allow us to safeguard an important part of this biological richness, which is just as urgent care to communities.
In young people need to understand these communities and ecological processes of the planet also become aware in actions against climate change.
Now many young people know the importance of caring for the planet, respect biodiversity and strive every day to achieve a better quality of life for ourselves and those around us
Undoubtedly the active participation of young people on the planet is here and now.
Live young?
The young people are the present, past and future and we are te option for biodiversity
