Abstract

This paper discusses the institutionalisation of consevation in a biosphere reserve in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. There are four villages in the reserve, whose total population ranges from 800-2500 inhabitants. Decision makers and administrators have focused on biological conservation, failing to understand the social and political relations of the local people who are strongly affected by globalisation and modern conservation policy". Conservation means prohibition leading to conflicts between the local population and the federal authorities.
