The road to sustainable forest management and stewardship has been debated for decades. Some advocate for governmental control and oversight. Some say that the only way to stem the tide of deforestation is to place as many tracts as possible under strict protection. Caught in the middle of this debate, forest inhabitants of the developing world struggle to balance the extraction of precarious livelihoods from forests while responding to increasing pressures from national governments, international institutions, and their own perceptions of environmental decline to protect biodiversity, restore forests, and mitigate climate change. Mexico presents a unique case in which much of the nation’s forests were placed as commons in the hands of communities, who, with state support and their own entrepreneurial vigor, created community forest enterprises (CFEs). David Barton Bray, who has spent more than thirty years engaged with and researching Mexican community forestry, shows that this reform has transformed forest management in that country at a scale and level of maturity unmatched anywhere else in the world. For decades Mexico has been conducting a de facto large-scale experiment in the design of a national social-ecological system (SES) focused on community forests. What happens when you give subsistence communities rights over forests, as well as training, organizational support, equipment, and financial capital? Do the communities destroy the forest in the name of economic development, or do they manage them sustainably, generating current income while maintaining intergenerational value as a resource for their children? Bray shares the scientific and social evidence that can now begin to answer these questions. This is an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and the interested public on the future of global forest resilience and the possibilities for a good Anthropocene.

Mexico leads the world in community management of forests for the commercial production of timber. Yet this success story is not widely known, even in Mexico, despite the fact that communities around the globe are increasingly involved in managing their own forest resources. To assess the achievements and shortcomings of Mexico’s community forest management programs and to offer approaches that can be applied in other parts of the world, this book collects fourteen articles that explore community forest management from historical, policy, economic, ecological, sociological, and political perspectives. The contributors to this book are established researchers in the field, as well as many of the important actors in Mexico’s nongovernmental organization sector. Some articles are case studies of community forest management programs in the states of Michoacán, Oaxaca, Durango, Quintana Roo, and Guerrero. Others provide broader historical and contemporary overviews of various aspects of community forest management. As a whole, this volume clearly establishes that the community forest sector in Mexico is large, diverse, and has achieved unusual maturity in doing what communities in the rest of the world are only beginning to explore: how to balance community income with forest conservation. In this process, Mexican communities are also managing for sustainable landscapes and livelihoods.

The first set of results found that while community forestry was important to helping communities formalize their tenure rights in both regions, this process was realized in different contexts, especially regarding policies and markets, and resulted in distinct CFE models. Our analysis also identified general trends in CFE models and important lessons that each region has for the other. The second set of results demonstrated that product characteristics have the highest impact on price, but maintaining forest certification over time, gaining access to new markets, and developing relationships with buyers over time can also improve prices. The third set of results, for three CFEs in the Brazilian Amazon that differed in scale, intensity, and products, revealed that CFEs can be profitable, and highlighted the importance of maximizing economies of scale, especially through cost sharing among CFEs. These findings provide insight on the challenges and opportunities for improving CFE financial viability, and highlight the need for policies that support community-based forest management as an important land-use activity for forest conservation and local economic development.

The fact that 80 percent of Mexican forestlands are under common ownership impacts the competitiveness of the forest products industry and forest sustainability. Community forest enterprises (CFE) are a heterogeneous group of forest industries managed by indigenous and local communities for livelihood and profit. Many CFEs face inner competitiveness problems, challenging public policies, and structural lack of trust within the industry. Despite the tendency to operate in isolation, Textitlán, Ixtlán and Pueblos Mancomunados, three CFEs with similar levels of organization, management and manufacturing technology, have vertically integrated from forest management to retailing furniture through a company: TIP Muebles. The case illustrates the factors impacting entrepreneur CFEs to integrate needs of the market, the challenges of manufacturing FSC furniture within a collective management model of social capital. While external regulatory frameworks and macro environment forces influence industry performance, CFEs need to innovate and adapt their decision-making structure to change and some are trying new opportunities in the marketplace. The results of this research show that the main challenges are related to human capital, the current approach of forestry regulation for wood transformation, and the decisions based on tradition rather than efficiency. The studied CFEs are resilient and barely surpassing the profitability threshold despite the challenges identified. Adaptation of their decision-making structure allows them to face the changing dynamics of the market. Democratic approaches to decentralization of forest policy, trust development between social and private enterprises,and an improvement in internal CFEs systems, offer opportunities for competitiveness in the forest products industry for CFEs.
