All people deserve good life and credit loans or short term loan can make it better. Just because people's freedom bases on money.

Hi Susan - Mexico's flora, divided along its topographical and geographical lines, comprises mostly desert plants in the north, forests and grasslands in the mountains and and jungle-type plants and trees in the south. It has over 6 million hectares of biosphere reserves covering different forests and wetlands. It has over one million hectares of wetlands of international importance and close to 18% of its total area is wilderness.

Mexico ranks fifth in the world for diversity in fauna; it ranks second for diversity of mammal species. Given such diversity, it's natural the number of endangered species should be high, overall and especially for mammals and birds. It has organized protection for more than 87% of the endangered species of its fauna.
