    At Tres Presas
    Metropolitan Park, in the state capital there is a garden of approximately 300 flowering plants, such as lantana, myrtle, sage and laurel among others, which belong to the richness of native plants of Mexico with elements of the Chihuahuan Desert, One of the most important benefits generated by pollinating species is food production, since it is estimated that 88% of the vegetables whose fruit or seed is eaten in our country, such as chili, apple, bean, tomato, pumpkin and coffee, They depend on pollination. They also contribute to keeping the ecosystems they run through healthy and genetically diverse. Despite their importance, pollinators face a global crisis caused by the loss of their habitats and the use of pesticides in crops, gardens and green areas.
