“Poverty is the result of the process of socio- environmental degradation that creates patterns of economic development which have not fallow equitable and sustainable conditions. The form of how society is organized to use the resources and how are distributed the benefits obtained between the members produce poverty” said Marco Antonio Ramirez, author of “Poblacion, Pobreza y Medioambiente. The Guerrero’s mountain is experiencing extreme poverty. It is the most marginal zones of Mexico. There are three different ethnic groups living in the region, mixtecos, tlapanecos, and nahualts. The mountain’s region of Guerrero is located in the oriental part of the state, with a surface of 7000km over the Sierra Madre del Sur. Its altitude goes from 1000 to 3050msnm.and it is conformed of 16 municipalities.
Ramirez explains that environmental degradation is linked to the forest loss, erosion and depreciation of the soil, poverty, reinforced migration, as the base of social conflicts because of the land. There are various forms of modification of the environment: Reduction of productivity of the soil through erosion, the loss of nutrients, the salts and the soil structures; the loss of biodiversities, deforestation, the waist of water and the changes in the use of the soil. The forms to measure these proprieties are through the percentage of deforestation and the coefficient between the alteration and regeneration of it, and for the level of erosion of the soil.
According to a study conducted by the official government agency, Secretaria de Desarrollo Rural, forty two thousand hectares of forest get lost every year in the state of Guerrero, including the mountain, the costs, tierra caliente, the central zones, and other regions. These lands are mostly used for agriculture and the cultivation of illegal substances, explained Garcia Aguirre, director of (SEDUE), “The region has more than 5 millions of hectares in forest and rainforest which can give the population the resources for development, with strategies like community forestry,” said Garcia and article published by La Jornada.

Community forestry is defined as the science for the training and cultivation of forest by the landowners, exploited for their own benefit and not for the benefit of others; this sustainable development strategy involves three advantages, economic, social and the protection of forest and biodiversity conservation. However, this benefits work over time and in the meanwhile many families migrate during the year seeking survival, they migrate to big cities in Mexico and then to work in the fields or factories in the U.S.
