The goods and services provided by ecosystems are fundamental to maintaining mankind’s supplies. In rural areas, people make use of these resources causing environmental damage and overexploitation. Palo Alto is a locality that adjoins the Sierra de Quila, a protected natural area located in the state of Jalisco, represented mostly by pine-oak forest. The objective of this work was to carry out an environmental diagnosis using the guide of analysis of impacts and their sources in natural areas in Palo Alto. The information was obtained through direct observation and population surveys to justify the importance of informal environmental education as a strategy to reduce ecological deterioration in this community.

Palabras llave : Social education; Sierra de Quila; environmental diagnosis; conservation; communities.
