- Is the community-based management of natural resources inherently linked to resilience? An analysis of the Santiago Comaltepec community (Mexico) María del Mar Delgado-Serrano Roberto Escalante Saul Basurto Demografía Socio Latin America sustainability ecological systems indigenous communities The sustainable management of forests is a current pressing need. Many communities around the world manage common pool forests and base their livelihoods on forest products. The communitybased management of natural resources approach has been often considered as a suitable approach to govern the commons. However, the application of these principles does not simply lead to harmonise development and conservation. We explore the links between community-based management of natural resources and social-ecological resilience in a Mexican indigenous community by: 1) analysing the trade-offs between environmentally sound forest management and socio-economic sustainability; 2) identifying the local strategies to face local, national and international challenges and analysing how they contribute to the socialecological resilience; and 3) reflecting about how the current situation might affect future social-ecological resilience. The results showed that land and forests are sustainably managed from an environmental perspective, but current social and economic pressures, within and outside the community, represent a serious threat to the traditional common management and sustainability culture. 2015 artículo científico 1578-7168 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=29638681004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=296 Ager.
