La problemática socioambiental e institucional de la reforestación en la Región de la Montaña, Guerrero, México

The authors analyze the causes that have prevented the successful operation of reforestation programs in the La Montaña region (Guerrero State), Mexico. They reviewed the various regional development programs which have taken place in the last six decades and which have included the implementation of reforestation programs as part of their activities. The authors conclude that the meagre success that has characterized the reforestation efforts at La Montaña is due to one or a combination of several of the following factors: l] reforestation objectives not directed towards the restoration of the environment, 2] programs based on a very small number of the species, 3] technical deficiencies in the selection of species and sites for the plantations 4) small size of areas devoted to reforestation, 5] insufficient and intermittent funding for these programs, 6) lack of training of local peasant inhabitants and of institutional technicians, and 7) very limited social acceptance of reforestation programs.
