Mexico’s Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat) is participating in negotiations to resolve a territorial conflict between communal landholders in Chiapas and Oaxaca. The dispute centers on lands within a protected natural area. Violence has been recurring in this region since the implementation of the 1968 Agrarian Reform. Details of the negotiations were highlighted by Claudia Sheinbaum. The ongoing issues stem from unresolved claims related to land ownership and usage rights following the reforms. Semarnat’s involvement signals an effort to find a peaceful resolution and address the historical tensions. This intervention aims to prevent further violence and protect the area’s natural resources.
