| For some unknown reason the ecologically highly sensitive areas of Laguna Sontecomapan were not included in the nuclear zones of the Los Tuxtlas Biosphere Reserve when it qas created in 1998. In 2000 the University of Veracruz obtained a 25 year Mexican federal concession to 375 hectares (938 acres) of the most threatened area. Los Manglares are now an Area Natural Protegida (nature preserve) managed by the University of Veracruz. A small mangrove replantation project has been completed and more are planned. In 2004 RAMSAR, an international wetland organization added Laguna Sontecomapan to its preservation list. |
