Yum Balam
[edit]- ... that Yum Balam Flora and Fauna Protection Area, which provides a habitat for jaguars, is named for a Maya jaguar god of nature?

"The Area de Protección de Fauna y Flora Yum Balam: The Initiation and Challenges of a Development Program for the Communities and the Environment in the Maya Zone of Northern Quintana Roo" (PDF). Yale Forestry & Environmental Studies Bulletin. p. 59.)
ALT1:... that Yum Balam Flora and Fauna Protection Area is Mexico's first protected area to be established at the request of local communities?

Good enough, long enough and new enough; kudos @Bryanrutherford0: it's a very pretty article, too. Hooks are both good and interesting; I have a preference for the first one for being slightly more interesting. QPQ done. Kingsif (talk) 19:40, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
