The objective of this study is to analyze the social movement (SM) in the community of Cherán, Michoacán, to uphold their forest resources against illegal logging linked to organized crime. This paper focuses on the internal organizational structure of the SM. The Resource Mobilization Theory (RMT) was used as a theoretical and methodological tool to analyze such social movement. Forty semi-structured interviews were conducted with community members and other social actors who participated in the movement. The formalization of traditional organizational structures and legal recourse were the two main factors in the recognition of the community self-determination.
