In order to guarantee the protection, conservation, restoration and use of natural resources (water, soil, forest and biodiversity) of an anthropised sector belonging to a protected natural area of the State of Mexico, a management proposal based on a detailed field survey, which allowed to diagnose the main environmental problems is made. After extensive community work, awareness and discussion of best wishes for caring and conservation of the property, a management plan agreed with the community was established, where strategies and action strategies are established according to priority levels. Communal management is maintained as an inseparable element of the process. The project is an example of conjugating the professional area and the citizen involvement in environmental matters in order to preserve the environment.
