WORKING EXPERIENCE IN THE MESOPHYLL FORESTS OF OAXACA’S SIERRA NORTE, MÉXICO

Abstract

Experiences were gathered that the Grupo Mesófilo A.C. has brought together in the communities that are part of Oaxaca’s Sierra Norte, México, specifically in the areas of Rincón de Ixtlán and Distrito de Villa Alta. These places still have important patches of mountainous mesophyll forest, so the inhabitants take advantage of various services that the forests provide them to develop economic activities and satisfy needs related to housing, food and exploitation with wood fuel purposes.
