The potential national impact of restructuring the ANOFCG is estimated to reach 77,000 families as possible beneficiaries if the project manages to promote the issue of rights beyond the Maya Biosphere Reserve.

Here we estimate the potential impact, as a conservative figure, in several hundred thousand.
