Northern Mexico is dominated by the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts. As such, the most pressing environmental problem is water scarcity, and the tremendous loss incurred when a source of water becomes polluted. This is especially problematic because northern Mexico is also rich in mineral resources, and mining operations tend to use huge quantities of water, and more often than not, pollute water sources nearby.

On the other hand, southern Mexico is warmer and has a moister climate, resulting in extensive farming and increased population density; temperate and tropical rain-forests are found along the Gulf of Mexico lowlands and Yucatan Peninsula. Issues affecting this area include habitat loss of local species, desertification and degradation of the local ecosystems due to haphazard urban growth.
