Cuatrocienegas - Un bonito ecosistema

Hello everybody
Today I will talk about Ecosystem. We call “El ecosistema” as an interaction between living beings and the ambiente (environment). There are two types of ecosystem and they are aquatic & terrestrial. I think that if we don´t care our ecosystem, I mean that if we throw wastes into the rivers, it will reach the sea and pollute the sea. If we throw batteries and other wastes on the land, it will contaminate the land and also our water resources. More pollution may cause many disasters as hurricanes, tsunamis, global warming, etc.
!!CUIDALA !!
Our region is a desert. It´s hot in summer and cold in winter. There is a famous and protected ecosystem in our state. It is called Cuatrocienegas. Don Venustiano Carranza is native of this town. He was one of the leaders of Revolución Mexicana and also became President of Mexico. This ecosystem is in desert, but has beautiful pozos (natural wells), hot springs with clear blue water and also sand dunes. I took sand bath in the sand dunes. Srta. Ma de Jesus Alvarado Medina (Mary), a friend took us there along with her family. Her native is Monclova, which is near to this place. A Guide told me that there are some fishes and tortoises (Las tortugas Bisagra) very unique to this ecosystem. It is a very nice place to go and enjoy.

Hello,

I'm from Belgium and for a while now very intrested in the cuatro Cienegas-valley with a specific intrest for your 'mojarra del desierto'. This very special cichlid-fish H. minckleyi. I have read some sientific article's about them and the valley. I really hope to come one day at this magnificent ecosystem that is endangered by by the introducing of exotic species in the waterfauna en the the lowering of the water table, as a result of over-exploitation of the water resources for human use. I hope the government will do there best to protect this area.

Greetings
