<p>The privatization of natural resources for the expansion and intensification of capital comes into conflict with the regions that seek to curb the environmental impact by changing crops to other more profitable forms of production. Rural communities are dispossessed of their territories (water, land, minerals) through privatization. This plundering affects environments and ecosystems, as transnational companies change the use of nature to produce merchandise and not common goods. This process obeys the interests of national and transnational capital, since investments in infrastructure conflict with rural localities. The interest of the work is to analyze the deterioration suffered by the communities in the face of the spiral of geostrategic projects that operate in total freedom with the help of municipal and state authorities, since they guarantee their actions by developing infrastructure for their interests. The study analyzes the region of Tehuacán and the Sierra Negra de Puebla, as a zone of capital intensification that modifies the lives of the affected communities. Structural reforms impose new dynamics towards the accelerated concentration of capital, showing an economic model that is nearing its end and depredating life on the planet.</p>
