摘要：This artcle presents a preliminary System Dynamics model developed to analyze the sustainability of a natural reserve in Mexico: the Tamiahua Wetlands. Wetlands are ofen referred to as nature’s kidneys because they flter contaminants from water. In spite of their importance, wetlands are endangered areas around the world. In order to build the model we take into account the Fishbanks model developed by Meadows (2004) as a startng point. Then, the model considers variables related to changes in total and economically actve populatons, and contaminants in water. The preliminary model presented in this study implies that fshing actvity in the Tamiahua Wetlands, together with contaminants from human actvity, have the potental to damage the diversity of species in the ecosystem, endangering its sustainability. Contnued work on the model is intended to explore appropriate ways of preserving Tamiahua, providing inhabitants with economic actvites that promote the sustainability of the region.
