Current Human Impacts


Currently, the human impacts on the ecosystem are less destructive than they have been in the past. Modernization and an increased awareness for the environment of the region create more sustainable interactions with the ecosystem. This is critical because serious changes in the state of the ecosystem could create severe consequences for the lake’s numerous species of endemic animals in addition to a few endangered species (like the Lake Pátzcuaro salamander) that take residence there.
