Se comentan los acercamientos metodológicos que fundamentan este trabajo y las actividades llevadas a cabo, desde el reconocimiento de las condiciones sociales, económicas-políticas que influyen en las formas de apropiación de los recursos forestales hasta la construcción de diversos espacios de intercambio encaminados hacia la capacitación técnica, sobre todo hacia a la formación y fortalecimiento de individuos y de colectividades. Este trabajo forma parte del proyecto “Manejo forestal comunitario y conservación en el Centro de México: construyendo enlaces, redes y capacidades”.

Endurance and Adaptation of Community Forest Management in Quintana Roo, Mexico

We examine the conditions that have enabled and challenged sustainable forest manage-ment within community forests in Quintana Roo, a tropical state strongly influenced by the Maya culture that currently boasts 91% forest cover. Over time, community forestry has been shaped by land reforms and forest policies that institutionalised com-mon property and local governance systems, granted timber rights to communities, instigated Permanent Forest Areas for commercial management, and laid a foundation to respond to changing market opportunities (i.e. payments for environmental services, railroad ties, polewood, and future carbon credits). Significantly, 16 years of state and international support via the Forestry Pilot Plan further empowered residents and increased local capture of forest benefits. In contrast, recent neoliberal economi...

On the other hand, conservationists have declared that the only way to stem the tide of deforestation is to place as many tracts as possible under strict protection. In this context, Mexico presents a national laboratory for studying the social and ecological benefits of delivering forests to local people. As a little-noticed result of the Mexican Revolution in the second decade of the twentieth century, well over half of the forests of Mexico were placed in community-held lands. In historic struggles that passed through several phases, most of these communities have now gained substantial control over the use of their forests. Because of the substantial degree of social capital in rural forms of organization in Mexico, this control of forest resources has led to an estimated 290-479 community forest enterprises (CFEs), through which communities are producing timber on their own lands. New studies are beginning to suggest that important gains in both social and economic justice, good forest management, and biodiversity protection are resulting from the actions of these CFEs. As more forests globally are being devolved to local communities, it is important to carry out more research on the Mexican model of community forest management for timber production.

En contraste con otros países como Finlandia, con similares proporciones de bosque y una economía dependiente de los mismos, en México las empresas forestales solo contribuyen con el 3.5% de la producción nacional (Semarnat-Comisión Nacional Forestal 2005).
