survey was applied in 2016 to 63 producers: 24 and 39, in EJM and CJM respectively. The
results show a total diversity of 139 species; 90 in Ejido and 120 in Congregation, together with
a variety of 40 sp, in order of abundance: plants of ornamental, medicinal, fruit, vegetables,
spices, and others. Families preserve and protect the diversity of plant and animal species on
the site by tradition and habit and because all species have a function and use within the solar

ornamental, medicinal, wood and firewood, well as raw material for the production of cured and
