Paisaje biocultural y territorio, reflexiones sobre la gestión del patrimonio del “paisaje agavero y antiguas instalaciones del tequila”

UNESCO's designation of the Agave Landscape and Ancient Installations of Tequila as a World Heritage Site underscores its significance as a living and productive landscape, cultivated for four centuries by local communities. This site is divided into three zones: Core Zone 1 (34,000 hectares), dominated by the Tequila Volcano and human settlements; Core Zone 2, encompassing the archaeological site of Guachimontones; and the Buffer Zone (51,000 hectares), including the Santiago River Valley. The study highlights the critical challenge of maintaining local population engagement to prevent land abandonment while promoting cultural values, traditions, and sustainable practices tied to agave cultivation. It emphasizes the need for integrating tourism and new technologies without adverse environmental impacts, ensuring the preservation of this unique biocultural landscape. The research also advocates for adapting strategies to climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation, aligning with the State Action Plan on Climate Change.
