From the Paper:

"For many years in history mankind used the earth's natural resources without any thought to what may happen in the future. Recently however, that changed as scientists began to provide warnings to the world that the earth's natural resources are not an unlimited supply and that the insults mankind visits upon them are creating a crisis in today's world as well as setting up serious problems for future generations. The region of Mexico has been dealing with serious natural resource threats for some time. Deforestation and water pollution are two areas of concern that have moved to the forefront of focus."
