The states where these species are located are Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila,Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas, Durango, Jalisco, Tabasco, Veracruz, Campeche, Oaxaca,Chiapas, Yucatan, Quintana Roo and Mexico City. It has been reported that Mexico is the country with the most critical locationsand Oaxaca as the state with the largest number of endangered species sites in the country.

4. What does the goverment need to do to protect them? The government must recognize that some species of animals are in danger, and take measures to protect them through support to these organizations. Environmentalists have always suggested ways to save endangered species, but the problem is that the relevant authorities have done little to put them into practice.
