Indigenous Peoples and Protected
Areas II
Sponsorships:
Indigenous Peoples Specialty Group
Cultural and Political Ecology Specialty Group
Latin American Specialty Group
Description:
These two sessions explore the many issues raised by the establishment
of national parks and other protected areas in indigeous peoples'
homelands. They include critiques of protected area discourses and
political ecological dynamics that have displaced and marginalized
indigenous peoples; analyses of the social, political, economic,
cultural, and ecological conditions within inhabited protected areas;
evaluations of indigenous peoples' conservation contributions to
protected areas; and accounts of efforts to create new kinds of
protected areas that respect indigenous rights and foster indigenous
management or co-management.
