Resumen:
This chapter provides a description of an ongoing case study of forest community management for Nuevo San Juan Parangaricutiro. This indigenous community has undergone a number of natural and cultural catastrophes, which served to reinvent the indigenous and communal identity needed to engage sound forest management for the long-term. This experience has challenged researchers to find trigger factors responsible for gaining social, cultural, and ecological resilience, and for expanding to similar localities worldwide. Evidence, data, and arguments showed that at first, the historical and cultural framework served as a launching pad for getting the San Juan's Community into a suitable governing situation. At this point, the availability of forest resources created the needed momentum to turn natural resources into the main vehicle for economic and social stability. There are a number of challenges yet to be accomplished, such as education, gender equitability, and integral ecological functioning. Nonetheless, the San Juan's Community provides an empirical example partially foreseen with the polycentricity and resilience theoretical frameworks, and explores whether forest management triggers sound communal governance institutions. © 2015 Elsevier Inc.
