| The Mexican federal "Reserva de la Biosfera Los Tuxtlas" (Los Tuxtlas Biosphere Reserve) in the Sierra de Los Tuxtlas, south central Veracruz, Mexico was created in 1998 by the consolidation of several other protected areas dating as far back as 1934. The Biosphere protects mostly the higher elevations of the volcanic mountain range, roughly above 300 meters, but also includes almost 120 kilometers of coast line. The major cities, and also Laguna Catemaco, are not included. |
