Cuatrociénegas protected area
Cuatrociénegas is a reserve comprising canyons, salt-saturated alluvial plains, low hills, a large area of gypsum dunes, swamps, streams, marshes and lagoons. The isolation of the area has favoured the presence of about 150 endemic species. These include many unique vascular plants, three endemic turtles, ten endemic fish, and several endemic invertebrates (crustaceans, freshwater snails, scorpions).
