México: Ambiente, cultura y sociedad. Un análisis desde la perspectiva del modelo RECREA

Abstract

In the Mexican territory the cultural diversity is associated with the environmental diversity, this is demonstrated by the presence of native groups that inhabit the regions of the country, which are characterized by the management of various natural resources that they obtain from the terrestrial and aquatic environments of each of the regions. The natural resources have multiple uses, for example, food preparation, house building, handicraft making, dress making, disease treatment, farm animals food and for ritual and ceremonial purposes. Through the transversal axes of the RECREA Model: complex thinking, information and communication technologies and research - action, complemented with fundamentals of geography, environmental geography, cultural ecology, field work and cartographic information the association between environmental diversity and cultural diversity is explained and analyzed to demonstrate that in Mexico, there are still links between the environment, society and culture, a situation that determines the existence of human groups that subsist in the context of a global capitalist system that extracts in an unsustainable way natural resources.
