Abstract
The implementation of a multidimensional strategy for sustainable forestry development in the cold temperate weather region in Chihuahua, Mexico was the objective of this study through the application of the Multi-Conference Search Model, based on the organization system of forestry producer associations (ejidatarios, comuneros, and small landowners, including indigenous and mestizo people).The participative methodology applied took into account the public nature of forest resource ownership in Mexico. Ejidos, communities, and other relevant actors were actively involved in this process. The multidimensional strategy designed incorporates the ecological, environmental, sociocultural, economic, political, institutional, scientific and technological dimensions, which include objectives and strategic actions that consider needs and common interests of the entities involved in the pursuit of sustainable regional forestry development.
