Posters on two successful cases of sustainable use of wild species, with which the CITES Scientific Authority team has worked in coordination with other stakeholders: bighorn sheep and swamp crocodile. These posters were presented at the 23rd meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice (SBSTTA), and the bighorn sheep poster was awarded the prize for the best poster of the event.
Among the approximately 1,800 species of sea cucumbers that have been described in the world, 113 are distributed in the four coastal regions of Mexico: Gulf of California, Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea; and the greatest diversity is found in the Gulf of California5 .
Of these, 11 species (Stichopodidae and Holothuriidae families) are currently captured and commercialized in our country and their fishing is regulated by SEMARNAT or SADER-CONAPESCA, depending on their protection status.
This guide takes up previous efforts to present a simple tool, based on external characters and a dichotomous key, whose purpose is to support Customs (SHCP-SAT) and PROFEPA officials in the identification of processed (dried) specimens of the 11 species of sea cucumbers of commercial interest in Mexico.

Types of snakes
The vertebrate fauna in Cantabria presents a wide diversity thanks to the variety of ecological niches existing in the region and its geographical position, equidistant between the Mediterranean world of the southern peninsular and the nearby world of Atlantic Europe.
In relation to conservation, amphibian populations in Cantabria, like those around the world, are suffering a marked decline mainly due to habitat loss, disease and climate change.[5][6][7] The amphibians, commonly known as anurans, are the most endangered species in Cantabria.
Anurans, commonly known as frogs and toads, are characterized (in their adult phase) by their compact body, lacking tails and possessing highly developed hind legs adapted for jumping. Five families are represented in Cantabria, grouping ten species.
