    "The Government of Mexico should be commended," said Bugeda.
    "Millions of animals and sensitive ecosystems across the country
    are more secure today because of this enforcement action. IFAW
    looks forward to the announcement of administrative procedures
    and sanctions."

How many species involved in the illegal hunts were endangered species?
Which "sensitive ecosystems" were put in peril because of the illegal hunts?
