Grassland of Northern Mexico covers around 48% of the total inland cover. Those areas provide several benefits and services to thousands of inhabitants of Mexico. Grassland sustainable management remains challenging due to some economic, ecological, and social reasons. These variety of reasons occupy different position in the list of priorities of each group of stakeholders. In this sense, it is important to heard stakeholders to identify their concerns and opinions about grassland management. This is a transversal and exploratory study that aimed to assess professional perceptions of grassland in Northern Mexico. A semi-structural survey was designed to accomplish the goal. Data was collected in 2006 and 2014 during two international grassland symposiums held in Mexico; 147 and 76 people participated in the study respectively. In general perceptions towards the condition of the grassland in Mexico has not change during the years, a large number of participants considered that grassland areas are heavily deteriorated. In terms of institutional responsibility, there is a tendency to delegate conservation to federal authorities. Participants considered that cattle ranching and conservation are not opposed. In addition there is a lack of knowledge on some other products different from cattle that can be obtain from the grassland (i.e. ornamental plants). An effective strategy to formulate managing and to implement programs is to understand stakeholders 'perceptions of grassland.
