A multidimensional strategy for promoting sustainable community forestry and human wellbeing in México
Impacts of globalization, climate change, biodiversity loss and socioeconomic conditions are important challenges for achieving sustainable community forestry development in Mexico. These challenges have created the need for building capacities in forest ejidos and communities (common property land), since they are who live with effects of any action in their communities. For that, it was necessary to apply a participatory strategic management model (different to traditional processes) in forest ejidos and communities for sustainable development. The model included: a) Multisearch Conference, which is a participatory and decision-making of "bottom up" process, and b) participatory strategic management model for the competitiveness of community forest enterprises. The integral model is based on three principles: strategic thinking, holistic vision, and participatory democracy. It includes strategies for designing, implementing, and monitoring strategic plans for managing sustainable forestry development. The application of the model allowed to the local people better motivation and appropriation levels of participatory decision making processes for driving their own development. Examples of outputs of this model are: a) Participatory strategic master plan for sustainable forestry development in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico; b) Integral forestry development project of the forest Ejido “El Largo and Anexas”, Madera, Chihuahua, Mexico (the largest forest ejido in Mexico), and c) Forest Productive Chain “Baja Tarahumara, S.C.”, Urique, Chihuahua, Mexico. In sum, the participatory strategic model promoted anticipatory and self-managed sustainable community forestry development. The model represents a paradigm shift in order to get sustainable community forestry development.
