Abstract
Environmental inspectors are an important part of environmental governance because of their work monitoring compliance with forestry legislation. Mexico is internationally recognized for its large forest territory. Protected Natural Areas are an instrument in the conservation of forest resources. The paper presents an evaluation of the forest resource inspection activity in Mexico, in terms of the personnel authorized to carry out such work and constraints on taking care of the resources. The information was obtained from official databases on the number of inspectors, activities carried out and protected areas. It was noted that the number of inspectors assigned to monitor forestlands has not grown along with the greater number of hectares to be monitored, although complaints and forest deterioration have continued and even increased.
