Abstract

he work was carried out in the states of Chihuahua, Durango, Jalisco, Michoacán, Guerrero, Oaxaca, Puebla, Estado de México, Chiapas, Quintana Roo, Veracruz and Campeche in order to generate a relational database to know who the forest producers are, the basic characteristics of their productive system: scale, level of vertical integration, quantity and characteristics of timber and non-timber harvesting, as well as obtaining pertinent information that contributes to the decision making of the government sector, social and private. A comprehensive review of the timber harvesting permits and non-timber harvesting notices granted by the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) was carried out. The BD was supplemented by information from the National Forestry Commission (CONAFOR), the National Agrarian Registry (RAN), the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), and other institutions that manage information related to the forest sector. As a result, the BD identifies for each of the 12 states of the republic, the number of authorizations of use by entity and type and the characterization of the producers: forest producers of timber raw materials, non-timber forest producers and potential producers with capacity of processing and marketing. A digital coverage was generated using ArcGIS©, that allows to know the geographical location of the estates with timber production in each state of the republic contemplated in the study.
