    Under certain circumstances, land titling, property regime changes, and land‐use conversions yield substantial profits. Yet few people possess the wealth, knowledge, and networks to benefit from these procedures. In the Yucatán Peninsula, a region recently targeted as a prominent investment location by the Mexican national government (mainly with the “Tren Maya” megaproject) and the private capital, forestlands collectively owned as ejidos by Mayan peasants are on the trend to complete privatization.

    Over the course of their existence, peasant cooperatives known as ejidos and comunidades have significantly reconfigured the property relations, landscapes, and settlements of rural Mexico. These cooperatives remain relevant today, even though most of Mexico’s rural population now makes its living from activities other than agriculture. New uses, meanings, and values have attached themselves to the deagrarianized lands. Perhaps the most innovative resignification has been promoted by inhabitants who resist land commodification through a discourse of rights to Indigenous territory.

    Las mujeres son importantes usuarias de recursos forestales. Sin embargo, su participación en la gobernanza forestal es limitada, y las razones de esta situación han sido poco estudiadas en México. Este artículo sostiene que la discriminación de género en la tenencia de la tierra, la división genérica del trabajo, la inequitativa distribución de beneficios y la visión estrictamente comercial de planes de manejo contribuyen a la exclusión femenina del manejo forestal comunitario (mfc).

    México ha transitado por un proceso de cambios territoriales importantes en las últimas décadas; sin embargo, las políticas de vivienda de los últimos años, las modificaciones constitucionales sobre la propiedad agraria y la falta de una aplicación rigurosa de los instrumentos de planeación y de Ordenamiento Territorial (OT), entre otros factores, aceleraron la expansión urbana sobre áreas agrícolas y naturales. Si bien los procesos de urbanización y metropolización han favorecido el desarrollo económico del país, también han tenido efectos negativos, tales como un aumento de la desigualdad

    Este informe ofrece un análisis de la jurisdicción agraria en México a la luz de su evolución histórica y de los estándares internacionales que, en materia de derechos humanos de los pueblos indígenas, México ha suscrito y se ha comprometido a cumplir. En México hay varias instituciones muy importantes para la vigencia de los derechos humanos de los pueblos indígenas, comunidades y ejidos sobre sus tierras y territorios: i) los Tribunales Agrarios, jurisdicción especializada que, en principio, es creada para proteger estos derechos sobre tierra y territorio; ii) la Procuraduría Agraria, ins

    Los ejidos y comunidades agrarias son la forma de tenencia de la tierra que abarca mayor superficie en el campo mexicano; ellos ofertan una importante producción agropecuaria y en sus suelos están la mayor parte de los montes, áreas forestales, manglares, costas, agua, minas y diversos atractivos naturales; sin embargo, poco se conocen sus características generales, por lo que este artículo presenta los rasgos principales de estas formas de propiedad del suelo y un panorama amplio de su situación actual (basado fundamentalmente en el análisis del último censo ejidal).

    Local and indigenous communities across the world are advancing innovative sustainable development solutions that work for people and for nature. Few publications or case studies tell the full story of how such initiatives evolve, the breadth of their impacts, or how they change over time. Fewer still have undertaken to tell these stories with community practitioners themselves guiding the narrative. The Equator Initiative aims to fill that gap.
