Natural resources protection areas of Mexico

Mexico's Natural resources protection areas (or Áreas de Protección de Recursos Naturales in Spanish) are nine federally-recognized protected areas in Mexico that are administrated by the federal National Commission of Protected Natural Areas (Comisión Nacional de Áreas Naturales Protegidas, or CONANP).[1]

They are critical natural resources that are preserved and protected, such as water sources and important forest areas.[2]
