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]
