This paper examines the factors that condition the use of the land and the peasants' productive strategies, as well as their implications on the conservation of the tropical rain forest in eastern Tabasco. Data gathered through peasant surveys (n=124) in twelve communities and field visits were statistically analysed. Results show that biophysical factors, particularly geomorphology, are the first conditioning factors of land use at the regional level, whereas public policy, the cattle market and the historical dynamics of land use seem to direct the process at the local level. It is discussed that the future development of the land cover in eastern Tabasco will depend on the use that the peasants make of areas with secondary vegetation. The results of the study underscore the importance of the agricultural development policies as conditioning factors in the sustainable use of the soil. It is concluded that the present circumstances in the region can favour the reversal of deforestation if the government supports this process through long-term programmes, economic incentives and technical assistance.
