| Sumario: | Cultural services are a category of ecosystemic services consisting in the provision by the landscape of esthetic and identity values. The conceptual framework of ecosystemic services (ES) is proposed as a powerful approach to be considered in public environmental policies, currently oriented towards human wellbeing (Bennet et al., 2015; López-Santiago et al., 2014; De Groot et al., 2010; Chan et al., 2011; Fisher et al., 2009; Oropeza et al., 2015). But studies made about ecosystemic services have focused in biophysical and economic assessments, relegating cultural values, meanings, and preferences (Müller et al. 2010:2; Lamarque et al., 2011; Martín-López et al., 2014). Due to the importance of the perception by local population of the transformations of the cultural landscape in which they inhabit, in this writing we will hence focus in the cultural category of ES From a descriptive perspective, the landscape expresses the numerous interactions existing between society and the territory, its conformation being the result of natural and human factors reciprocally interacting through time. The abundant richness of natural resources of Mexico, and of the state of Chiapas, has been indiscriminately exploited along history, and more intensely so in recent times. |
