Answer:
The region is protected as a preservation park and archaeological reserve.
Explanation:
The region is home to world-famous archeological sites such as Chichen Itza, Uxmal, Coba and Tulum, as well as colonial cities, including Mérida, the capital of the Yucatan state, Valladolid, near Chichen Itza, and San Francisco de Campeche, in the state of Campeche, declared a cultural heritage site by UNESCO.
The region is still abundant in parks and nature reserves. This area is considered excellent for bird watching, as over 450 bird species have been identified in Yucatán. As for parks and reserves, the Celestun River Park, where there is a good amount of flamingos, as well as many other birds and animals, can be visited about a day's trip from Mérida. There is also the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, located south of Tulum, full of mangrove swamps, lagoons, savannas, coral reefs, forests, and little-known Mayan temples.
