Diagnóstico de la relación entre actores involucrados con el aprovechamiento de las aves canoras y de ornato en México

Abstract

The use of songbirds for the pet market is a traditional activity in Mexico. Pajareros are the main users of these birds through subsistence permits. The objective is to diagnose the collaboration between stakeholders related to the use of these birds. The transdisciplinary analysis was carried out between four stakeholders from four different sectors related to the songbirds, at the workshop that took place in Michoacan from November 5th to 8th, 2015. We constructed and analyzed a sociogram which shows all stakeholders and their power relationships. The analysis reflected the factors that benefit and obstruct the collaboration for the sustainable use of the songbirds in Mexico. Finally, the challenges to achieve the sustainable use of songbirds are presented.
