Las empresas forestales comunitarias en la región de la Mariposa Monarca, México: un enfoque empresarial

Abstract

The absence of a consensus in the management of a community forestry enterprise can lead to inadequate management, inefficient use of resources and low competitiveness. To reverse this situation, it is important that people work in groups cooperating each other and achieving common goals, based on a set of shared informal norms and values called corporate principles. The objective of this research was to analyze the corporate principles of the forest communal enterprises in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reservoir and their relation to the integration of the forest production chain and the conservation of natural resources. This research used structured and semi-structured surveys, a spatial analysis in a digital platform, and construction of a development index based on multivariate methods. Three enterprises with different levels of integration of the forest production chain were compared. Main findings showed that when the community enterprise integrates more segments into a forest production chain, members have better knowledge of the corporative principles. Forest community enterprises with higher productive integration have higher levels of conservation of their forestry, more economic benefits for their members and generate more social welfare for their community. It is recommended that public policies focused on forest communities should foster corporative culture to integrate adequately production chains of forest community enterprises.

Sistema de gestión estratégica forestal participativa para el desarrollo forestal sustentable

“…Sin embargo, el sistema de gestión estratégica forestal aplicado promueve el desarrollo integral del ejido, con una vinculación estructural, operativa, técnica y administrativa que enlaza los ejes de desarrollo interno con visión holística. De esta manera, no da lugar a que un limitado consenso comunitario conduzca a una administración inadecuada (Rodríguez et al, 2019). e) El sistema de gestión estrategia impulsa el empoderamiento del ejido o comunidad y permite fortalecer las capacidades del recurso humano (Janja et al, 2016), gracias al acompañamiento multidimensional facilitado por los expertos externos y el equipo técnico coordinador.…”

Comparative Analysis of Three Forest Management Plans in Southern Mexico

“…They also maintain that this better performance can be explained by the security of land tenure, the effective application of rules and regulations, the frequency and regularity of forestry operations, effective local organization, the sensitivity of forest users to ecological aspects of forest management, and the expectation of obtaining socioeconomic benefits, among others. Therefore, community forest management constitutes an effective alternative to maintain the productive and conservation values of forest resources [13].…”

“…Likewise, it is recognized that, in forest management, economic, social, and ecological factors must be considered [12]. Therefore, the objectives of forest management in a communal forest also involve social welfare, job creation, and the development of alternative economic activities [3,13].…”

Factores de éxito en las empresas forestales comunitarias: un caso de estudio

“…Sin embargo, el desarrollo de las capacidades organizativas y gerenciales de las EFC es uno de los mayores desafíos del manejo forestal comunitario. El modelo Chontalpa en Tabasco y el Programa de Desarrollo Rural Integral del Trópico Húmedo implementado en varias regiones tropicales de México (Sastre, 2008), son algunos ejemplos de organizaciones y de gestiones fallidas (Rodríguez-Zúñiga et al, 2019). Algunas razones de que las EFC no sean exitosas administrativa y empresarialmente se debe a la imposición de programas gubernamentales de conservación, a modelos que buscan su integración a una economía de mercado (Barton, 2007), y a políticas públicas que fuerzan reglas de convivencia.…”
