ESQUIVEL-RIOS, Susana; CRUZ-JIMENEZ, Graciela; CADENA-INOSTROZA, Cecilia  and  ZIZUMBO-VILLARREAL, Lilia. Tourism as an environmental policy instrument in El Rosario Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.44, pp.141-174. ISSN 2448-6183.

The environmental policy in Mexico was implemented as a mechanism to slow down the deterioration of natural areas; such is the case of the monarch butterfly biosphere reserve, in which its efficacy is questioned because of the permanent deterioration, reflected on the loss of woods, mortality of the butterflies and depletion of aquifers, stressed by massive tourism. This is the consequence of the difficulties in the implementation and participating actors. The analysis was carried out from the approach of the Networks of Public Policy. The main conclusion is that there is limited inter-institutional coordination, which makes communication and agreement between actors difficult.

Keywords : environmental policy; monarch butterfly; tourism; policy networks.
