“…For the last 25 years, forests and urban areas have each gained almost 3% more of the territory at the expense of agricultural land; those municipalities bordering the sea have increased their number of inhabitants and activity, and although they only occupy 6.7% of the total surface area, they account for 43.3% of the population; air quality has stabilized since the turn of the century, and there has been some improvement in the state of aquatic ecosystems, but still only 36% are in good condition, while the remainder have suffered morphological changes and different forms of nonpoint source pollution; meanwhile the biodiversity of flora and fauna remains still under threat. Environmental policies do not go far enough so there is a need for revision of the legislation related to environmental impact and the protection of natural areas, flora, and fauna. …”

Exploring ‘endangered living fossils’ (ELFs) among monotypic genera of plants and animals of the world by Pablo Vargas

“…The emergent patterns are: (1) taxonomy (generic level) is a reliable first approach to identifying ELFs; (2) ´morphological singularity´ displayed by monotypic genera does not always help identify ELFs on islands; (3) species of monotypic genera tend to be more threatened than average species; (4) extinction appears to be biased against some animal and plant groups; (5) contemporary extinct genera are strongly associated with distribution on islands, particularly for flightless birds vulnerable to human prosecution; and (6) the ELF approach is a relatively quick method to identify the species of floras and faunas most urgently in need of protection in the world. …”
