Isla San Francisco, Sea of Cortes, Baja California Sur, Mexico. The lack of rain and the increase in temperatures expose Baja California to desertification and extreme phenomena. The region could experience a decrease of between 10 and 20% in its total annual precipitation, while the average annual temperature would increase between 1.5 and 2.5 degrees Celsius in the next 50 years, which would intensify the hydrological cycle and possibly some phenomena such as "The boy". The Baja California peninsula could even disappear due to climate change. Its inhabitants have begun to carry out soil conservation works to maintain the vegetation and thus be able to benefit habitats such as those of the Rocky Mountain mouflon, coyote, hare and wild cat. They also work on the restoration of land, in order to conserve and increase native vegetation and to prevent desertification and loss of land.
