Yum Balam edit

  • ... that Yum Balam Flora and Fauna Protection Area, which provides a habitat for jaguars, is named for a Maya jaguar god of nature? Source: "...we had to defend Yum Balam, our Jungle Lord, the God of Nature, from destruction..." (Poot Balam, Sebastián (1998).

Yale Forestry & Environmental Studies Bulletin. p. 59.)
