  1. Gap Analysis Program for Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon, Mexico César Cantú, *J. Michael Scott, *Gerald Wright, **Eva Strand, and *Leona Svancara College of Forestry, University of Nuevo Leon * U.S. Geological Survey ** College of Natural Resources, University of Idaho

  2. GAP ANALYSIS PROGRAM (GAP) Scientific method for identifying the degree to which native species and natural communities are represented in our present-day mix of conservation lands (Scott et al. 1993).

  3. The purpose of Gap Analysis Program (GAP) is to provide broad geographic information on the status of ordinary species (non-conservation status) and their habitats in order to provide land managers, planners, scientists, and policy makers with the information they need to make better-informed decisions (Scott and Gergely 1997).

  4. Digital map overlays in a GIS are used to identify individual species, species-rich areas and vegetation types that are unrepresented or underrepresented in existing biodiversity management areas (Scott et al. 1993).

  5. OBJECTIVE • To present advances of Gap Program • for Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon, Mexico: • Nature Reserves • Vertebrate and Plant species • Logistic aspects

  6. Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas are neighbor states in Northeast Mexico covering 64,924 and 79,384 sq. km, respectively. (144,308 sq. km)

  7. Nuevo Leon has 19 and Tamaulipas 23 of the 39 recognized vegetation types for Mexico (Flores and Gerez 1994).

  20. Considering the ecosystems diversity, a WWF classification of ecoregions of Latin America and the Caribbean, showed that Mexico, with the 5 ecosystem types, 9 of the 11 different habitats, and 51 of the 191 ecoregions is the most diverse country in the continent. The conservation status analysis showed that in Mexico are present 14 of the 51 priority ecoregions (Dinerstein et al 1995).
