TThe number of plants in Mexico under some category of risk has increased in recent years, from 894 species, subspecies or varieties in NOM-059-ECOL-1994 to 981 in NOM-059-ECOL-2001 and 994 in NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010. In the state of Yucatan, primary forests have almost disappeared, the low deciduous forest is the ecosystem that has suffered the most from the loss of its vegetation cover and currently there are remnants mostly in a secondary state (Duno de Stefano et al.2017).

The dominant type of vegetation in the private protected area "Komchén de los Pájaros" is classified as Low Deciduous Forest (SBC), which has been poorly studied despite the fact that it represents 42% of tropical ecosystems worldwide that are considered threatened. In Yucatan, historically it is due to the clearing of the jungle for the cultivation of henequen and agricultural development; Today, climate change threatens to cause aridity and desertification conditions in already dry lands. The remnants of this forest continue to be lost and fragmented despite being under legislation. The vegetation of SBC is characterized by hosting a large number of endemic species of the region and constitutes the fundamental ecosystem of the private protected natural area (ANP). It is worth mentioning that it is also within the Mesoamerican corridor, which implies a greater responsibility in safeguarding the faunal and floral diversity it contains.
