Ctenosaura Defensor (Cope, 1866)
Ctenosaura defensor (Cope, 1866). The Yucatecan Spiny-tailed Iguana, a regional endemic in the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula, is distributed in the Tabascan Plains and Marshes, Karstic Hills and Plains of Campeche, and Yucatecan Karstic Plains regions in the states of Campeche, Quintana Roo, and Yucatán (Lee, 1996; Calderón-Mandujano and Mora-Tembre, 2004), at elevations from near “sea level to 100 m” (Köhler, 2008). In the original description by Cope (1866), the type locality was given as “Yucatán,” but Smith and Taylor (1950: 352) restricted it to “Chichén Itzá, Yucatán, Mexico.” This lizard has been reported to live on trees with hollow limbs, into which they retreat when approached (Lee, 1996), and individuals also can be found in holes in limestone rocks (Köhler, 2002). Lee (1996: 204) indicated that this species lives “mainly in the xeric thorn forests of the northwestern portion of the Yucatán Peninsula, although they are also found in the tropical evergreen forests of northern Campeche.” This colorful individual was found in low thorn forest 5 km N of Sinanché, in the municipality of Sinanché, in northern coastal Yucatán. Wilson et al. (2013a) determined its EVS as 15, placing it in the lower portion of the high vulnerability category. Its conservation status has been assessed as Vulnerable by the IUCN, and as endangered (P) by SEMARNAT. ' © Javier A.

Participatory Coastal and Marine Management in Quintana Roo, Mexico
Participatory Coastal and Marine Management In Quintana Roo, Mexico By: Juan Bezaury Creel³, Carlos López Sántos¹, Jennifer McCann², Concepción Molina Islas¹, Jorge Carranza¹, Pamela Rubinoff², Townsend Goddard², Don Robadue² and Lynne Hale² ¹ Amigos de Sian Ka’an A.C., ² Coastal Resources Center – University of Rhode Island, ³ The Nature Conservancy Abstract The Quintana Roo coastal ecosystem is characterized by extensive coastal wetlands, a fringing reef that develops .5 to 1.5 Km. offshore and vast seagrass beds in the adjacent reef lagoon. While protected areas and Ecological Planning Ordinances have not specifically been designed as Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM)1 tools, this paper demonstrates that they provide an important foundation for a statewide ICZM program in Quintana Roo. These environmental policy tools have been extensively used along the coast of this state to promote inter- governmental and public participation, establish important vertical and horizontal linkages and balance conservation and development. The paper presents a brief case study of a community-based ICZM program in Xcalak to demonstrate the efficacy of these tools. A voluntary best management practices guide designed for developers to complement ongoing government regulations provides a second example. A statewide ICZM strategy could benefit from these existing resource management programs, and complement emerging international agendas such as the Mesoamerican Caribbean Coral Reefs Initiative. A paper presented at: International Tropical Marine Ecosystems Management Symposium Townsville, Australia, November 23-26, 1998 1 Integrated multi-sectoral resource planning and management for coastal resources has been widely discussed over the last two decades, resulting in the terms Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM), Integrated Coastal Area Management (ICAM) and Integrated Marine and Coastal Area Management (IMCAM).

Thesis Lois Moriel Robles
Master´s Thesis, 60 credits Ecosystems, Governance and Globalisation Master´s programme 2007/09, 120 credits Socio-economic drivers influencing sustainability in a social-ecological system Insights from whale shark tourism in northern Quintana Roo, Mexico Loïs Moriel Robles Socio-economic drivers influencing sustainability in a social-ecological system Insights from whale shark tourism in northern Quintana Roo, Mexico Loïs Moriel Robles [email protected] August 2009 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master in Ecosystems , Governance and Globalisation 1 Abstract Wildlife tourism is promoted as a livelihood alternative activity to extractive use, such as the case of whale shark interaction in Quintana Roo, Mexico. Whale sharks seasonally aggregate (from May to September) northeast Yucatan peninsula, where they annually attract about 20000 visitors. This study analyzes the socio-economic drivers, influencing the sustainability of this recreational activity, through semi-structured (n=44) and in-depth (n=4) interviews to local stakeholders, tourists surveys (n=262), and a cost-benefit analysis. Results indicate that intermediaries put pressure on the optimization of the operation, as well as it decreases the economic return to local operators (licensees). Local operators are not aware of the real costs of operations, and additionally tourists are poorly informed of (1) the species, (2) the code of conduct (regulations) and (3) how to support local community’s development. In conclusion, those factors along with the lack of surveillance threaten whale shark tourism sustainability. Inclusion of all stakeholders in management and planning of wildlife tourism is necessary in order to obtain desirable practices, as well as investment in environmental education.

Sustainable Tourism in Holbox Through Local Development
Sustainable Tourism II 319 Sustainable tourism in Holbox through local development A. Palafox, V. Pineda, J. Godínez & M. Martínez Universidad de Quintana Roo, Mexico Abstract According to the Bank of Mexico, tourism is one of the most important economical activities due to its capability of promoting a wide range of activities of other kinds as well as facilitating the creation of new ones. All this can be presented thanks to the 20.6 million international tourists and its 8 382.23 million dollars received during the last year. In this context, Quintana Roo received 45% of the total amount of tourists that enter into the country; besides, the state concentrates 12% of global hotel infrastructure in Mexico with 57 906 rooms. However, the obtained benefits are concentrated only in five destinations of the state: Cancun, Cozumel, Playa del Carmen, Mahahual and Tulum. The rural communities, therefore, are building their own enterprises and participating in the tourism activity in order to offer themselves the opportunity to improve their quality of life, by preserving the environment, getting incomes, and providing jobs for the local people. These actions represent an example of local development looking forward to sustainable tourism. Holbox, a small rural town from Quintana Roo – Mexico, is a good example of this. Tourism has become the most important economical activity in this place while the natural and cultural resources are preserved. The inhabitants always look to improving the tourist activities such as the fishery, but controlling the number of visitors and appealing to a specific kind of consumer. Through tourism in Holbox, the residents have had the opportunity to build enterprises in order to offer services to the tourists such as restaurants, small hotels and recreational attractions like The Kite Surf, Tours, and Swims with Whale Sharks.

Tourists' Willingness to Pay Increased Entrance Fees at Mexican
sustainability Article Tourists’ Willingness to Pay Increased Entrance Fees at Mexican Protected Areas: A Multi-Site Contingent Valuation Study Brian Witt Institute for Public Finance and Infrastructure Policy, Technische Universität Wien, Augasse 2-6, 1090 Vienna, Austria; [email protected] Received: 11 April 2019; Accepted: 21 May 2019; Published: 29 May 2019 Abstract: It can be challenging to set protected area entrance fees without information on how much visitors are willing to pay. It is particularly difficult for agencies managing multiple sites to set fees without conducting surveys at each location. In order to examine how willingness to pay estimates would vary across sites with distinctive profiles, 877 visitors at five Mexican protected sites (Calakmul, Cobá, Palenque, Sian Ka’an, and Yum Balam) were interviewed through double-bounded dichotomous choice contingent valuation surveys. The results suggest that visitors would be willing to pay higher entrance fees, with mean maximum willingness to pay estimates of 2.8–9.8 times current fees, ranging from US$15.70 to US$25.83. Visitor demand was found to be relatively inelastic, with aggregate fee rises of 26% estimated to result in a 5% decrease in visitation. These results suggest that there is room to raise revenues through moderate fee increases without a concomitant drop-off in visitation. Keywords: contingent valuation; entrance fees; willingness to pay; protected area management; sustainable tourism 1. Introduction A common revenue-generating strategy for protected areas is charging a fee for admission to the site. These entrance fees serve a variety of purposes, including offsetting the costs of visitation, rationing visitor numbers at popular or fragile sites, or providing general funding for the costs of site maintenance [1–7].
