Resumen:

This work integrates the authors' experiences in three case studies that occurred from 2004 to 2006 in different ejidos, related to the formation of community conservation areas (CCAs) in the Lower Balsas River basin, in Michoacán, Mexico. The cases stem from a project called Conservation of Biodiversity in Indigenous Communities carried out in the states of Oaxaca, Michoacán, and Guerrero (COINBIO, by its Spanish acronym), financed by the United Nations' Global Environmental Facility Program. COINBIO focused its efforts on participatory community research, with the objective of analyzing historical, social, and economic factors in the participant communities and developing local strategies for land management and biodiversity conservation. The objective of this work is to consider the factors that both supported and limited community conservation efforts prompted by COINBIO in Michoacán. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
