| Brief description |
Since 1971 when the Biological Station Chamela was established in the region, there has been continuous effort of research and observation. In 1988 these activities are strengthened with the addition of the Ecological Foundation of Cuixmala (FECx) that was founded to provide protection, encourage research and promote the creation of the biosphere reserve. |
