Two ways your country or local government could do to address these problems:
Two
ways your country or local government could do to address these problems:
1.
One way that the local government can do
is to develop more environmental project to contribute to the environmental
solutions. The local government doesn’t contribute too much and it is why some
of the problems are increasing. But if he starts to do something such as try to
do more projects where he can involve people so they can know what the
environmental problems are.
Two
2. Another Train and make groups of people that
are willing to participate on different projects to help the environment so
they can spread this information out. Make also several punishments for people
who hunt illegally and also for the farmers.
Environmental issues in Queretaro
Environmental
issues in Queretaro
·
Deforestation:
the deforestation in Queretaro is one of the begets problems that we are facing
because La Sierra Gorda of Queretaro is one of the biggest preservation of
forest that the Mexico has, but people have been cutting the trees down. In
some part of Queretaro we have also illegal deforestation and day by day it is
been increases. “Between 1990 and 2000, Mexico lost an average of
347,600 hectares of forest per year”.
(Mexico environmental profile, http://rainforests.mongabay.com/deforestation). These humans’ activities affect the environment because
when people cut down the trees we have less oxygen and as a result less air to
breathe. Also the vegetation starts to disappear because that and they do not
do project of reforestation to help the ecosystem. Currently some of the
wildlife starts to emigrate or die, and we have been losing our animals.
Garbage:
the garbage in
my biome is another big problem we are facing, because people have been thought
too much garbage and soundly they pollute our rivers. Because the garbage in
the rivers, on the streets, or everywhere peoples star to get seek, and
specially children. “The Bordo Poniente landfill
site has been in use since 1985. It covers an area of 600 hectares and was
receiving 12,600 tonnes of waste a day, 7,000 of them from municipalities in
the state of Mexico, adjacent to the Federal District (DF) or city proper,
according to the capital city’s secretariat of works and services”. (Emilio
Godoy, No One Wants Mexico
City’s Garbage, http://www.ipsnews.net/2012/01/no-one-wants-mexico).
·
Water
polluted: the water pollute is been increases because the
humans’ activities. Because people pollute the water by dumping too much
garbage and other materials the helps to increase the pollution and as a result
the humans’ health. People drink polluted water because they don’t have another
option but at the same time it is themselves fault because they don’t stop
contaminating the water. “In México, one of the factors most affecting water
related problems are its distribution. Currently, more than 12 million persons
lack drinkable water, especially in rural areas”.(water problems Mexico, http://www.explorandomexico.com).
·
Chemicals:
people have been use different chemicals in the field and it is because they
want to grow their food as much fast as they could, and it is because they sale
their product. When they use the chemicals in the field and then rains the
water wash the soil and all this water goes to the rivers where people use to
drink. This is why day by day more people get seek, and it is been
increases.
·
Born
fossil fuels: Fossil-fuel
carbon dioxide emissions from Mexico grew exponentially at a rate of 6.5% per
year from 1891 to 1982. Since 1982, total fossil-fuel CO2emissions
have slowly grown and now stand at 130 million metric tons of carbon. Emissions
growth over time has been due to increasing oil production and in 2008, 59.8%
of emissions were from petroleum products, the highest fraction of crude oil
dependence of the major CO2-emitting countries. Per capita emissions
(1.20 metric tons of carbon in 2008) are slightly below the global average.
Consumption of natural gas has become increasingly important in Mexico and now
accounts for 23.6% of fossil-fuel CO2emissions. (Boden, T.A., G. Marland, and R.J. Andres. 2011, This page was last modified: 09/26/12.URL:

·
Hunt: the hunters in day by
day are more and more and it is because in most places the police don’t have a
specific punishment for those people. It is sad because currently the
endangered species start to be gone and soon we don’t going to have too much
diversity.
Articles about the management of the environment
Articles
about the management of the environment
This
article is about how the wildlife is been affected by the humans land use and
socioeconomic and political factors and it is just before the Spanish conquest
in the 1521. According to this article it has been estimated that more of the
60% of the land areas has been severely degraded. Mexico is one of the ranks in
the top 3 countries in biodiversity. The wildlife management regulatory powers
in the federal government with state relegated a minimums role. (The wildlife Society, June 2006 Pg(s) 270-282, available (Internet),
http://www.bioone.org/doi/abs/).
The article is about the effect of EBM in the Gulf of Mexico and the
management as well. A strong consensus for EBM to be successful in improving the
health and stewardship of the GoM, a strong and vibrant cooperative management
regime is required, one in which stakeholders agree on a list of specific
objectives and have a willingness to achieve cooperative management goals. (Sandbar 7:3, October, 2008,

Gulf of Mexico:
The journal basic and applied research concerning
wildland fire. It wishes to attract papers on a broad range of wildland fire
issues that may include subjects beyond the range of papers published in recent
issues. Manuscripts pertaining to physical and societal aspects of wildland
fire will be considered. The Journal has an international perspective, since
wildland fire plays a major social, economic and ecological role around the
globe. The Mexicans pine ecosystems are characterized by great biological
diversity and are strongly influenced by fire.

This article is about the association of
Pandemic Vibrio parahaemolyticus O3:K6 Present in the Coastal Environment of Northwest Mexico. In 2004, more than 1,230 cases of
gastroenteritis due to pandemic O3:K6 strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus were
reported in southern Sinaloa, a state in Northwestern Mexico. (Velazquez-Roman,
Jorge, Mar 15, 2012,

the Coastal Environment of Northwest Mexico with Cases of Recurrent Diarrhea
between 2004 and 2010, http://ezp.mhcc.edu:2936/ehost/detail?sid).
This
article is about Response of the interaction between groundwater and other
components of the environment in Mexico. This
article reviews and discusses environmental aspects related to vertical upward
and downward groundwater flow. Flow systems are an important tool to understand
groundwater functioning as related to the environment, in terms of obtaining indicators of
human impact and solving specific questions about a groundwater environment system
that has been influenced by anthropogenic means. (Carrillo-Rivera, J. J.,
2008 July, v. 55, no. 2, p. 303-319. 55 2, Response of the interaction
between groundwater and other components of the environment in Mexico, URL: http://ezp.mhcc.edu:2108/10.100).
The article is about Modeling an exploited rocky coastal ecosystem: Bahia Tortugas, Mexico. A trophic structure
model of the rocky coastal ecosystem in Bahia Tortugas, Mexico was
constructed using Ecopath software to represent the main biomass flows in the
system. Data for the model came from field observations (biomass estimates,
stomach contents, and ecological observations for sea snails, abalones,
lobster, some demersal finfishes, and macroalgae) carried out through ten field
trips from 2006 to 2008. (Morales-Z©Łrate,

3 Articules of Mexican Environment
3 Articules of Mexican Environment
This article is about of the Mexican Biodiversity and also
says that Mexico is one of the 12 mega biodiverse countries in the world,
because Mexico has immense areas abounds with countless species of flora and
fauna. Many mountain, and diversity of climate in the whole country. With its
prime location on the cusp of both the nearctic and neotropical ecozones,
essentially a bridge between North America and Central America. (Replicating Policy That Works In Mexico, 2010,
available in internet: http://www.ecosystemmarketplace.com).
This next article is very important for almost all the
Mexicans because the information is not just about the Mexican environment it
is about Productivity, Pollution, Ecosystem health, socioeconomic Conditions,
and Governance. Mexico is partially isolated from the Atlantic Ocean. Important
hypotheses concerned with the growing impacts of pollution, overexploitation,
and environmental changes on sustained biomass yields of fisheries are under
investigation.(

Mexico City's air pollution sent more than one million
people to hospitals in 1999. Despite planting ten million trees, forcing
gasoline stations to sell unleaded fuel and install vapor capture systems, and
introducing alternative fuels for government vehicles, air pollution remains
one of the most daunting environmental issues facing Mexico City. More than
three million vehicles on the road each day are mostly to blame, but so are
industries and small factories, deforestation, and fires. Over the years, the
city has tried or considered drastic measures to clear the air. (Mexico city environment 2008, cited 12/16/2014, available
in: http://www.city-data.com/world-cities/Mexico-City-Environment.html).
