mañana - The original San Martin reserve, established in 1979, protected whatever
forest remained above 1000 m. It was later expanded to app. 20,000 hectares and
then became part of the Los Tuxtlas Biosphere.
Only 9,806 hectares (less than 40 square miles) of this area are considered the
nucleus and are supposedly fully protected.
The nucleus covers most of the high ground of Volcano San Martin, plus a
panhandle reaching through the Tropical Biology Station to the edge of the Gulf of
Mexico near Playa Escondida.
The major cities in the San Martin area, including Laguna Catemaco, are not in the
reserve.
