Distant political‐economic forces and global‐to‐local pathway to impacts on forests of Ejido landscapes across Yucatán, México

Abstract: Indigenous community land tenure in many locations worldwide is shifting towards individually parcelized and privatized systems. Among the drivers of this shifting land tenure are distant political-economic forces and commodity markets, from local to global. Accompanying the observed land tenure changes are shifts in livelihoods, away from subsistence-based and toward market-oriented activities. These changes can ultimately impact land use, land cover, and biodiversity conservation. We investigated a global-to… Show more

“…Currently across the State of Yucata´n, the milpa, a traditional Maya swidden system that has existed for millennia and that involves rotational cutting of forest, burning, and planting maize mixed with squash and beans, exemplifies the diverse subsistence and livelihood practices (Schmook et al, 2013). As land tenure shifts toward individual management, Maya livelihoods are transitioning away from subsistence agroforestry and agricultural ecosystems that primarily involve growing maize and are moving toward market-oriented farming production of new crops and livestock (Lawrence et al, 2019). Such a livelihood transition is counter to the Maya people's indigenous traditional knowledge regarding the use, management, and conservation of their lands that have been passed down across generations for millennia (Puc-Alcocer, Arce-Ibarra, Cortina-Villar, & Estrada-Lugo, 2019).…”

“…In Lawrence, Morreale, and Stedman (2019), the authors empirically analyze global-to-local linkages that stem from processes of globalized agriculture and drive changes to indigenous (Maya) communitymanaged landscapes across Yucata´n, Me´xico. Our objective in this article is to complement Lawrence et al, which emphasized spatial aspects of change, by broadening the scope and providing a broader conceptual approach to guide additional research on this topic.…”

“…The link between large‐scale tropical deforestation in Latin America and international corporate agricultural trade demonstrate teleconnections between distant locations (Henders & Ostwald, 2014; Munroe et al, 2019). These complex inter‐relationships of environmental, socioeconomic, and institutional factors, operating from global to local scales (Lawrence, Motreale, & Stedman, 2019), have brought challenges in identifying drivers of forest cover change in the tropics.…”
