Tourism spatial planning interaction: Local scale analysis in Balandra Protected Natural Area, Mexico
Efficient planning in Protected Natural Areas (PNAs) requires addressing overlap and adverse effects on growing tourism. This study has focused on understanding how the identification of interaction areas at local scales can contribute to tourism planning. The research method relies on Geographic Information System (GIS), using processes, such as intersection, buffer zones, and heatmap analysis; spatial interactions impacting the environment were…
Socioenvironmental Conflict Management: Contributions from the Analysis of Visitor Spatial Behavior in Balandra Protected Natural Area, Mexico
Minería versus conservación de servicios ecosistémicos: El caso de Sierra La Laguna
Se ofrece una valoración económica de la pérdida de servicios ecosistémicos asociada a la operación de un proyecto minero a tajo abierto en la Reserva de la Biósfera Sierra La Laguna, que dejaría un inmenso beneficio económico concentrado en pocos agentes fuera del país, a cambio de costos ambientales sustanciales en México durante varias generaciones, evidencia de que en las estimaciones de la minería es indispensable considerar los costos ambie…

Participación ciudadana en la creación de áreas naturales protegidas marinas en el noroeste de México
México, al igual que otras naciones, a través de áreas naturales protegidas marinas (ANPM) procura la conservación y los procesos naturales de las especies sujetas a la pesca. Lamentablemente, en los procesos de decreto de las mismas en algunas ocasiones no se ha puesto la debida atención en el desarrollo social y económico de las comunidades que habitan en ellas. El presente trabajo busca conocer el grado de participación de los pescadores al mo…

Se utilizan entrevistas semiestructuradas, a profundidad y diario de campo con perspectiva de género. El porcentaje de mujeres con derechos agrarios es mínimo …
Metal mining and natural protected areas in Mexico: Geographic overlaps and environmental implications
Managing a protected marine area for the conservation of critically endangered vaquita ( Phocoena sinus Norris, 1958) in the Upper Gulf of California
We analysed fisheries trends in the northern region of the Gulf of California, within the Biosphere Reserve of the Upper Gulf of California and Colorado Delta River and the Vaquita Refuge Area, and suggest measures to protect the vaquita, Phocoena sinus. We compiled and analysed catch reports of artisanal fishermen in the three fishing communities of the Upper Gulf of California (San Felipe in the State of Baja California, and Golfo de Santa Clar…
Sustainable shrimp fishery management recommendations for a coastal lagoon in Baja California Sur, Mexico
The Baja California Peninsula is considered México's most productive in terms of commercial fisheries. Very few quantitative assessments of the economic importance of this region exist, especially considering artisanal fisheries and their relationships with ecological data. Datasets from government records on shrimp capture in Magdalena Bay, an arid coastal lagoon of Baja California Sur were collected, analysed and correlated with ecological data…
Evaluación rural participativa: Uso de los recursos naturales en la reserva de la biosfera El Vizcaíno, BCS, México
En este artículo se describe la experiencia de investigación participativa donde se destaca la importancia de la vinculación entre los actores sociales (en este caso de áreas rurales protegidas), el sector académico y las organizaciones no gubernamentales. Se analizan los resultados de una evaluación rural participativa (erp) llevada a cabo en la Reserva de la Biosfera El Vizcaíno, bcs, México. Además de identificar lo que los actores sociales pe…
Assessment of sustainability performance on the utilization of Agave ( Agave salmiana ssp crassispina ) in Zacatecas, Mexico
Agave is a native plant utilized for mezcal and tequila production. Since 1997, Agave exploitation has been increasing, leading to possible ecological deterioration and without social and economic benefits for the rural population. A sustainability index was developed for 1990–2001, including social, economic and ecological indicators related to Agave exploitation at Zacatecas, Mexico. Increases in the rural population have had a negative effect …
Evaluación de impacto ambiental del sector eléctrico en el norte de México: Evolución histórica e implicaciones para la sostenibilidad
Se revisó y analizó el desarrollo y contenido de reia (Reportes de Evaluación de Impacto Ambiental) de proyectos eléctricos realizados en los últimos 30 años en el norte de México, y se conjuntó y analizó información poblacional y económica de la zona. Encontramos que tanto el proceso como los formatos de los reia no han evolucionado. Las principales limitaciones son: falta de conocimiento y ambigüedad en aspectos metodológicos, y regulaciones am…
A regional-scale sustainable development index: The case of Baja California Sur, Mexico
Sustainable development, as a multi-dimensional concept, is difficult to measure. Some efforts using indicators and indices have appeared in recent years, but most were developed on a national scale. Use of sustainability indicators has proven valuable for attaining better management of the environment by minimizing information gaps and maximizing community capabilities in terms of economic, social, environmental, and institutional sustainability…
Environmental and socioeconomic multivariate analysis of the primary economic sector of Mexico
Canonical correspondence analyses were made for the primary economic sector of all 32 Mexican states. Environmental, social and economic indicators were considered in the analyses. Four homogeneous units, fisheries, forestry, agriculture and anthropogenic aptitude, were identified. Coastal states showed a higher contribution to the gross national product (GNP) than noncoastal states. Jalisco had the highest contribution to the GNP. Our analysis r…
Sustainability development analysis of semi‐intensive shrimp farms in Sonora, México
During the year 2000, 12 modified and five new sustainable development indicators (SDIs) were applied and a sustainable index (SI) was developed for 21 out of the 33 semi‐intensive shrimp farms in Sonora, Mexico, to measure their sustainable development. Farms 5, 7 and 19 showed the highest values in social indicators, farms 5, 7 and 19 in the economic indicators and farms 2, 3 and 4 in natural indicators. In contrast farms 9, 16 and 17 obtained …
Salt production at San Ignacio Lagoon: A Sustainable Development Project
This work is devoted to analyzing the pros and cons of the proposed San Ignacio Lagoon (SIL) salt production project in Baja California Sur, México. The analysis of the project was done taking into account the technical data of the main potential effects of the SIL project, and by comparing the SIL proposed actions with the data of Ojo de Liebre Lagoon, where an almost identical salt production project has been operating for more than 44 years. T…

The obtaining of biosphere reserve decrees in Mexico: Analysis of three cases
During eight years, the Biological Research Center of the Northwest promoted the federal decrees to attain legal protection of three key zones for biodiversity conservation in Mexico: La Sierra de La Laguna, El Desierto del Vizcaíno, and E1 Archipiélago Revillagigedo Biosphere Reserves. In this work, we discuss the biological and socioeconomical importance of these three regions, the necessary steps to attain a Presidential decree in Mexico, and …
Management plans for natural protected areas in Mexico: La Sierra de la Laguna case study
Mexican Natural Protected Areas main goals are to protect biodiversity in the core areas and to achieve sustainable development of natural resources in their influence zone. According to Mexican legislation, all newly established biosphere reserves must have a Management Plan (MP). This MP must regulate all activities in the area, and guarantee that the short-and long-term objectives of the reserve will be achieved satisfactorily. In this paper, …
