Environs
eeditThe climate is wairm. The destrict is relatively flat in the soothren coastal plain, boondit bi lagoons an then the ocean. Inland tae the north it is hillier, risin tae the crest o the isthmus an then descendin towards the Veracruz coastal plain o the Guwf o Mexico. The laund rises tae muntains tae the Wast (Sierra Madre de Oaxaca) an the East (Sierra Madre de Chiapas).[1] The municipalities o Santa María Chimalapa an San Miguel Chimalapa contain a lairge pairt o the Selva Zoque, the lairgest tract o tropical rainforest in Mexico, which contains the majority o terrestrial biodiversity in the kintra.[2]
Economy
eeditIther than in the touns o the trans-isthmus corridor in the wast o the destrict, maist fowk are engagit in agricultur. Near the coast, there is fishin activity, an in some inland auries fine lumber is extractit for uise in furnitur makkin.[1] The govrenment haes plans tae develop the trans-isthmus corridor. This includes impruivin transportation routes athort the isthmus atween the Caribbean an the Paceefic, an developin a industrial zone alang the heich-gate. Ither plans include creatin coffee plantations an cattle corridors, expandin production o beans, maize an chili an exploitin the bio-genetic resources o native medicinal plants.[3]
The isthmus haes reliable, dominant north-sooth winds. Some pilot wind ferms hae been built, notably at La Venta.[4] Thare are plans tae build mair, awtho thare haes been local resistance due tae the communal awnership o laund and concerns that the annual rental prices affered are too law[5][6] A plan first proponit in 1977 for a dam in the Chimalapas haes been stawed due tae environmental concerns.[3] In Juin 2008 the State o Oaxaca wis again proponin construction o a storage dam in the Rio El Corte Basin in the Chimalapa sub-region, wi the potential tae irrigate 100,000 hectares o the Isthmus o Tehuantepec an tae supplee watter tae the Salina Cruz Refinery.[7]
