Abstract

The following work addresses the ecological context in which various forest areas of the State of Michoacán in Mexico were restricted, this in the 1930s during the period of government of General Lázaro Cárdenas del Río (1934-1940) who was characterized for promoting in the country a policy of protection and sustainability of forests. In the case of Michoacán, the Cardenista administration took specific actions to conserve the forested areas that faced the greatest risk of devastation, and due to their ecological and economic function it was important to protect, as was the case in the regions of Pátzcuaro, Morelia, Zitácuaro, Uruapan and Angangueo.
