Abstract

The Bosque de Cobos is a vital ecosystem in Aguascalientes, México facing critical threats due to urban growth. This article examines biocultural defense strategies led by local communities, particularly women, within the framework of Integral Ecology and the Common Good. Using a qualitative methodology, practices such as environmental education, biocultural festivals, and social mobilization are documented, highlighting their impact on ecological conservation and cultural strengthening. The study concludes that community participation is key to addressing the socio-environmental crisis, proposing public policies to ensure the sustainability of this territory.
