            <p style="text-align: justify;">As several studies have reported (mainly by L. Arriaga, A. Breceda , M. Cari&ntilde;o,&nbsp;R. Coria, C. Fernando-Aceves, R. Rodr&iacute;guez-Estrella and M. Rodr&iacute;guezRodr&iacute;guez, among others), there are 171 oases in Baja California Sur. Although&nbsp;these oases represent only 1% of the total territory, they include a great&nbsp;biological-diversity. Nowadays, the main difference between North-African&nbsp;oases and Baja California Sur oases is that in this last area oases have almost&nbsp;lost the main function they still have in the other area, this means that they&nbsp;have no agriculture.&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em;">On the other hand, however, they have enhanced their role&nbsp;as a humid area in an arid environment, consequently becoming important&nbsp;refuges for&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em;">endemic&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em;">species, birds, etc. The important role they now play fully&nbsp;justifies their protection.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em;">If we accept the concept of the oasis as a man-made environment created for&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em;">agricultural purposes, the origin of Baja California Sur is attributed to Spanish&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em;">missionaries, during the XVIII century. It is said that they introduced date&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em;">palms since the shadow created by the palms increases humidity and enables&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em;">the development of agriculture. Agriculture may be introduced in this area&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em;">thanks to the shadow created by palms, as is the case in other continents. The&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em;">main purpose in creating oases was to create irrigated areas that would help to&nbsp;built permanent settlements and consolidate the Spanish and Christian&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em;">presence in this arid environment.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em;">During the 19th and 20th century, whilst some oases were productive and well&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em;">managed, others suffered from over-exploitation and water depletion.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em;">Nowadays, a significant number of scientist and local people have proposed areservation of the oases. This group has developed this oases Initiative with&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em;">the aim of presenting an important project on sustainable development and&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em;">conservation focusing especially on the oases&#39; agricultural, biological, cultural&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em;">and economical wealth, and in an attempt to have these oases included in the&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em;">UNESCO World Heritage List.</span></p>
