También se analizan los esfuerzos que actualmente se están llevando a cabo para mitigar e, incluso, revertir la deforestación, con base en políticas públicas internacionales que han sido asumidas por las autoridades mexicanas. Este trabajo cualitativo es producto de la revisión de literatura académica e institucional. Permite advertir cómo el paso de la explotación forestal extractiva a la sustentable aún se sitúa en un contexto en el que la geopolítica es determinante.Este article revê o quadro histórico de exploração florestal e da perda da riqueza madeireira e da perda de cobertura florestal em relação a assentamentos rurais, fomentada por alguns programas e políticas de colonização na Península de Yucatán desde a década de 1950. Analisa também os esforços que estão sendo feitos actualmente para mitigar e até reverter essa situação, com base em políticas públicas internacionais assumidas pelas autoridades mexicanas. Este trabalho qualitativo é produto da revisão da literatura acadêmica e institucional.
