The objective of the present study was to analyze the importance of non-timber forest products (PFNM) to the inhabitants of the Pensamiento Liberal Mexicano community, municipality of San Miguel Peras, Oaxaca. A survey was applied to 56 community members, key informants were interviewed, visits were made, and community-based activities were carried out. The results show that 80% collected PFNM in the forest during the 2015 year. Families have extensive knowledge of PFNM that grow or reproduce in the forest. PFNM are valued by families because they are used as food sources, condiments or medicinal properties, as ornamental or fertilizer for the production of vegetables. These resources have economic, cultural and medicinal importance for the families of the community, and access them through the harvesting or hunting of wild species at different times of the year. As a result, community members have undertaken common governance actions that regulate access to PFNM and the care of its habitat (the forest).
