ROMO GUZMAN, Domingo et al. Communal social organization and management of the natural timber forest capital at Carbonero-Jacales, Huayacocotla, Veracruz. Rev. mex. de cienc. forestales [online]. 2016, vol.7, n.34, pp.85-100. ISSN 2007-1132.
The forests of Mexico and the world have suffered significant damage in the last decades as a result of inadequate policies, incorrect implementation of forest management programs, deforestations resulting from various activities, natural and social phenomena, overuse of common goods, and inefficient social organization -all of which has had a direct effect on the deterioration of the social welfare of the communities that own the resources. The general objective of the research was to identify the management actions being carried out by the social organization “Ejido Carbonero-Jacales”, in the municipality of Huayacocotla, Veracruz, for the conservation and sustainable development of its natural timber capital, as well as of other related resources. Natural capital is relevant for development, interaction and complementarity with the social, human, financial and physical capital. A survey was applied to a random sample of 90 ejidatarios, 27.8% women and 72.2% men. The application of questionnaires, interviews and field visits were conducted over a period of two months. 25 observations were made during field visits to production areas (nurseries and current and former reforestation), the cutting and supply areas and industrialization. Results suggest the existence in the Carbonero-Jacales ejido of a solid inner social organization and of an adequate implementation of the Forest Management Program that has enabled sustainable exploitation of its natural timber resources and enhanced the well-being of its inhabitants.
