Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: With the increasing environmental dragradation and loss of biodiversity, dry tropical forests are facing growing pressure due to human activities that often disregard their ecological and cultural value. In the Montaña region of Guerreo, México, these ecosystems play a crucial role in climate regulation, water conservation, and the cultural and economic reproduction of indigenous communities. This study proposes a community-based governance model that recognizes the dry tropical fores as a rights-bearing entity, integrating emerging legal frameworks with ancestral knowledge on sustainable land management. The research follows a qualitativeintegrative approach based on critical documentary analysis, Geographic Information Systems, and conceptual modeling. It focuses on the Montaña region of Guerrero, particularly the municipalities of Tlapa de Comonfort, Huamuxtitlán, and Xalpatlahuac, selected for their ecological and cultural significance within the dry tropical forest biome. The methodology evaluates theoretical, normative, ans spatial dimensions necessary to assesss the feasibility of recognizingthe forest as a subject of rights. Through a systematic review of scientific literature, comparative analysis of nation ans international legal frameworks, and spatial characterization of priority areas, this study identifies a strong foundation in ancestral knowledge and community-based practices of sustainable land use. These elements support the development of a conceptual gobernance model that acknowledges the dry tropical forest as a rights-bearing entity, promoting an ethical, equitable, and sustainable relationship between humans and nature.
