Sierra de la Laguna, at the southern end of the Baja California peninsula in Mexico, is the southernmost range of the Peninsular Ranges System and the highest point in Baja California Sur at 2,090 metres. Its steep rise creates striking ecological zones, from dry scrub and forests at lower elevations to cooler, wetter oak-pine and pine-oak forests high above. Long prehistoric isolation gave the range distinctive plants and animals, including endemic species found nowhere else. Protected in 1994 as the Sierra de la Laguna Biosphere Reserve and later recognized by UNESCO, it remains both an important conserved landscape and a working region tied to nearby communities.
