Conflicto territorial, ecoturismo y cacería no regulada: el traslape de territorialidades en el Área Natural Protegida de Balam‑Kú

Acceso en línea sin restricciones

: Se analiza el conflicto territorial y el proceso de resistencia de una cooperativa ecoturística del ejido Silvituc, Campeche, México, ocasionados por la intromisión de cazadores furtivos e irregularidad de una UMA en sus tierras de uso común, enclavadas en el Área Natural Protegida de Balam‑Kú. La aplicación de entrevistas, encuestas, registro fotográfico y con GPS de los sitios, fueron utilizados para conocer los distintos actores sociales, intereses y apropiaciones del territorio. El traslape de actividades de conservación/extracción en los mismos espacios y recursos faunísticos, ha derivado en la presión cinegética y en los conflictos debido a la omisión de la normativa institucional. Se recomienda el apoyo a este tipo de organizaciones locales en resistencia e interesadas en proteger con presencia permanente sus recursos naturales, a través de la participación activa del Estado, el ejido y la academia, para la conservación, vigilancia y regulación en el acceso y uso de la zona spa
