In Mexico there are about 53,000 ejidos with approximately 3,000,000 (2.6% of the total population) ejiditarios that occupy about 82,420,000 hectares, representing 42% of the total area of the country. Many ejidos are now in ex-urban areas and some are leased, therefore there are likely to be more people actually living on ejido lands. What is important from a conservation perspective, is that there is a significant portion of rural Mexico that is held and managed in this social cooperative.
