Well that's the interesting part about their national park system. They weren't parks that excluded human settlement or industry, but encouraged sustainable, environmental practices that would have those residing within the parks be able to make a living while also being the natural caretakers and protectors of them. It was a really radical policy for the time that hasn't really seen anything like it since. As for today, I don't know as much about their current state, but after Cardenas' presidency the ideas of sustainable co-habitation between humans and the national parks lost support and became nearly obsolete. This is all just stuff I know from research for a paper I wrote last year. Though if you're really interested, you should read Emily Wakild's book Revolutionary Parks. Lots of good info on how the circumstances that led to the creation of the parks and what it was like during their operation.
