Info

Botanical specimens have been doubled since FAMSI support started in 2004. There are now approximately 1,200 specimens (all professionally mounted according to herbarium specifications) representing some 600+ species (a catalogue is being prepared). Not all species have Nahuatl names, although at least from the Balsas River Valley probably close to 90–95% of Nahuatl named flora has been collected (and perhaps 90% of this subset identified to species). Recently agreements have been reached with two indigenous villages (San Miguel Tecuiciapan and Atliaca) to leave a mounted copy of the Nahuatl-named specimens in their territory with the community. In San Miguel this material will be given to the local high school; in Atliaca it has been donated to the comisaria municipal. Figure 5.

Most birds have been documented through sightings or museum visits and further identified in Nahuatl through sound recordings of birdsongs (provided by the Cornell Ornithology Lab) and photos. Only Nahuatl-named insects (approximately 75–100) have been collected and are being identified through the Instituto de Biología (UNAM) in México City and the Smithsonian Institution (Washington). Only Nahuatl-named reptiles and fish are being collected, and these are being identifed at the Facultad de Ciencias and Instituto de Biología (respectively). 7
