GONZALEZ KUK, Gilberto Manuel  e  MUNOZ-MARQUEZ TRUJILLO, Rafael Arturo. Ecotourism as a Strategy for the Conservation of a Transformed Landscape in Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, Mexico. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.68, pp.1-21.  Epub 25-Mar-2022. ISSN 2448-6183.  https://doi.org/10.22136/est20221719.

Los Tuxtlas is a complex territory, given its historical process where different socio-cultural dynamics originated socio-environmental conflicts. The transformation of Los Tuxtlas landscape is exposed through a historical perspective, considering the insertion of ecotourism as a local strategy for environmental conservation. The methodology was based on ethnographic and cartographic perspectives to understand territorial conjectures. It was found a gradual decrease in vegetation cover and that ecotourism initiatives have made a significant effort to preserve the environment, however, they have declined. It is necessary to underpin the efforts that remain active, and encourage the increase of others.

Palavras-chave : Los Tuxtlas; landscape; socio-environmental conflicts; ecotourism; conservation.
