In the Mexican state of Michoacan are developed productive activities mainly in the primary and secondary sectors, this situation has favored the intensification in the land use and aggravated the deforestation. In this work, a methodological proposal is used to explain the process of deforestation through the use of statistical tools and descriptive methods, based on fieldwork. The results indicate that sometimes policy public or causes biophysical, social and economic can be favored the clearing of forest and sometimes, their conservation. This premise can be the basis to identify regions with specific need and propose recommendations to address them.
