Although some habitats have been recently protected or proposed for protection in the study region, these initiatives have been up to now mostly focused on saline/hypersaline lagoons and low grounds of particular importance due to their unique plant and animal communities (e.g. Cirujano-Bracamonte and Medina-Domingo 2002; Cordero and Llorente 2008).
