In the city-rural communities interface of the Puebla Valley seven periurban protected natural areas have been established. The objective of this investigation was to have an exploratory diagnosis of their current status and of the factors that affect their territorial loss and its ecological deterioration. These areas are not functioning as conservation strategies, because they lack a precise spatial delimitation and a management plan, they are unknown to most of the inhabitants of the area, they lack a budget for their management, the sale of lands and the productive and extractive activities.

Keywords : protected natural areas; periurban areas; environmental deterioration; environmental threats.
