The El Cielo Biosphere (''Reserva de la Biosfera El Cielo'' in Spanish) is located in the southern part of the Mexican state of Tamaulipas. The biosphere protects the northernmost extension of tropical forest and cloud forest in Mexico. It has an area of (558 square miles) made up mostly of steep mountains rising from about to a maximum altitude of more than .〔''Comision Nacional para el Conocimiento y Uso de la Biodiversidad'', http://www2.inecc.gob.mx/publicaciones/libros/2/cielo.html, accessed 18 Dec 2014〕
The state of Tamaulipas created the biosphere in 1985. In 1987 it was recognized by UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere Programme.〔"Gomez Farias Region and El Cielo Biosphere Reserve", http://www.botany.si.edu/projects/cpd/ma/ma9.htm, accessed 18 Dec 2014〕
==History==

The El Cielo area attracted little attention until the 1930s. In 1935, A Canadian farmer and horticulturalist named John William Francis (Frank, Francisco, or Pancho) Harrison established a homestead he named Rancho El Cielo at elevation in the cloud forest. Extensive logging and logging roads penetrated the area in the 1950s. Enthusiastic birdwatchers found their way to Harrison's small ranch and in 1965, to protect the ecosystem, Harrison transferred his land to a non-profit corporation in cooperation with Texas Southmost College and the Gorgas Science Foundation, In 1966, Harrison was murdered in a land dispute with local farmers.〔Webster, Fred and Marie S. ''The Road to El Cielo'', Austin: University of Texas Press, 2001, pp. 113-118; "Gomez Farias Region and El Cielo Biosphere Reserve", http://www.botany.si.edu/projects/cpd/ma/ma9.htm, accessed 18 Dec 2014〕
Harrison's farm is now the El Cielo Biological Research Center. In 1983, the Gorgas Science Foundation established Rancho El Cielito by purchasing land along the Sabinas River, just outside the Biosphere, to preserve part of a riparian ecosystem.〔"Rancho El Cielo and Rancho El Cielito", Gorgas Science Foundation http://www.gsfinc.org/focus/mexico, accessed 23 Dec 2014〕
