In Mexico, during the colonial period, livestock emerged as a tool to privatize former Indian lands and around them complex social mechanisms were generated which were institutional articulated to defend the privileges of territorial groups, which did not consider the devastating consequences involving ecological development. The study object is the region of the Cienega de Chapala, Michoacan (México), in order to link institutional changes with the alteration of the physical space as well as their effects by identifying what were the events throughout history that led to its current geography. The Cienega de Chapala has experienced a significant degree of changes in its landscape, derived from the opening to agriculture and extensive livestock since the sixteenth century. The case of Hacienda Guaracha is an example of how these changes occurred from the first land and water concentrations in the sixteenth century to the late nineteenth century.
