Mayan community forest reserves (MCFR) play an important role in agricultural landscapes in Mexico, as theyprovide forest products and a broad variety of benefits that contribute to improving local people's livelihoods.Nevertheless, academia has generally considered conservation and use of forest resources to be incompatible. Wedescribe the spatial configuration of MCFR, evaluate floristic and structural characteristics of woody vegetation present in selected reserves, and identify social norms that govern use and conservation of MCFR. These reserves largely consist of mature vegetation (80% of total cover); their plant structure is similar to that of the sur-rounding tropical sub-deciduous forest; and they house a large number of endemic species. The MCFR studied contain a total of 146 tree species and cover 11% of the study area, which includes at least 140 villages in thenorth-central part of the Yucatan Peninsula. These reserves are collectively managed and conserved by Mayanpeasants in the interest of the common good. The communities in our study area combine conservation and useof forest resources, and we recommend that in public policy, government agencies and NGOs incorporate MCFRas a model of biological conservation and sustainable natural resource use, taking into account traditionalknowledge and local norms that allow these reserves to function in a sustainable manner.
