Sumario:Forming social capital for collective appropriation encourages the conservation of socially-owned forest ecosystems. In Mexico, social ownership accounts for 60% of forest ecosystems, in which individual and collective mixtures of appropriation coexist. Through collective action, the organization of work, the kinship ties embedded in it and their expression in individual and collective areas in five ejidos in Tabasco and Chiapas were studied, in order to examine the territorialization of social capital for community forest appropriation. The results reflect an incipient process of building social capital for collective action and a fragmented community structure.
