Abstract: The Metzabok community, nestled within the vast biocultural territory of the Lacandon Rainforest, is recognized as a Protected Natural Area (1998) and a Ramsar site (2004). It is home to 37 families who collectively manage the land through traditional practices, land use, and an ancestral relationship with the ecosystems. This study analyzed how households establish biocultural dynamics through their ways of life and interactions with environmental public policies. A family census was conducted, field visits were made to homes, plots of land, and forest areas, and a workshop was held with the families. The results reveal that biocultural identity is built upon family organization and manifests itself in land use and food procurement, depending largely on their relationship with nature and symbolic connections to the territory. Family integration is characterized by the intercultural union between the Lacandon and Tseltal peoples. Interculturality has allowed for a hybridization of their ways of life in three dimensions: cultural, environmental, and political. The latter is facilitated by government environmental and social programs such as Payment for Environmental Services (PES), Sembrando Vida (Sowing Life), and programs of the National Commission of Natural Protected Areas (CONANP). Families are organized into nine ud (Household Unit). Those with greater access to land and economic resources benefit most from these programs, while ud with limited language or land access are disadvantaged. Nevertheless, these latter ud are the ones that carry on ancestral Lacandon traditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
