Ecological Zoning of Guadalupe Cuautepec, San Juan Bautista Suchitepec, Oaxaca, from a technical and community perspective

In the Guadalupe Cuautepec community, deforestation, overgrazing and unsustainable agricultural practices, have caused soil erosion and hence the siltation of the lagoon located in the town.

description In the Guadalupe Cuautepec community, deforestation, overgrazing and unsustainable agricultural practices, have caused soil erosion and hence the siltation of the lagoon located in the town. In order to generate basic information to create protective strategies to this water body, an ecological zoning was developed from the diagnosis of this community resources’: water, soil and vegetation. From the technical point of view a socioeconomic and biophysical characterization was performed; the latter included geomorphological, hydrologic, geological, soil, vegetation, erosion, potential land use, land use conflicts and ground instability. On the other hand, a participatory rural appraisal was conducted, in which the most relevant problems related to natural resources and the community actions needed for the sustainable management of such resources were identified. Top priority targets were set to achieve sustainable management of natural resources, among which are: soil conservation works, controlled logging activities and reforestation of non-vegetated areas. It was estimated that 77.8% of the Cuautepec territory presents high and very high risk of erosion, with indices above than 50 t/ha/ year. It was determined that the most eroded lands in need of restoration cover 609.34 ha, and that the priority area to reforest is 439.52 ha.

En la comunidad de Guadalupe Cuautepec, la deforestación, el sobrepastoreo y las prácticas agrícolas insostenibles, han provocado la erosión del suelo y en consecuencia el azolvamiento de la laguna ubicada en la localidad. Con el fin generar información básica para la creación de estrategias de protección de este cuerpo de agua, se elaboró un ordenamiento ecológico territorial a partir del diagnóstico de los recursos agua, suelo y vegetación, de la comunidad. Desde el punto de vista técnico se realizó una caracterización socioeconómica y biofísica; esta última incluyó aspectos sobre: geomorfología, hidrología, geología, edafología, vegetación, erosión, uso potencial del suelo, conflictos de uso e inestabilidad de suelos. Por otro lado, se llevó a cabo un diagnóstico rural participativo, en el que se identificaron los problemas más relevantes relacionados con los recursos naturales y las acciones que la comunidad realizará para el manejo sustentable de los mismos. Se establecieron objetivos de alta prioridad para lograr el manejo sustentable de los recursos naturales, entre los que están: realizar obras para la conservación de suelos, controlar el aprovechamiento forestal y reforestar zonas sin vegetación. Se estimó que 77.8% del territorio de Cuautepec, presenta alto y muy alto riesgo de erosión, con índices superiores a 50 t/ha/año. Se determinó que los terrenos más erosionados con necesidades de restauración abarcan 609.34 ha y que la superficie prioritaria a reforestar es de 439.52 ha.
