Reflection

We realized that even if Nayarit seems little, its population surely has increased over the past years. According to the INEGI, since the 1930’s Nayarit has been growing really fast.

We should take in count that growth always comes with a consequence. When there is suddenly too many people, then the explotation of natural resources occurs, and permanent damages are made to the environment. Maybe Nayarit is not the case, but we should still be on guard so that their natural areas do not seem threatened in any way.
