Mexico is one of the countries with the greatest biodiversity in the world, because due to its geographical location, which makes it creditor to a great variety of climates, it has become home to 12% of the world’s species (12,000 of which are endemic).

The country is located in two completely different areas as it is crossed by the Tropic of Cancer: on the one hand is the tropical zone and on the other with a temperate climate, however, these are intermingled by the oceans and reliefs that surround Mexico giving origin to more times.
