Saberes y prácticas infantiles mayas sobre las aves en un contexto de conservación en Yucatán, México
En este artículo analizamos la situación actual de los saberes y prácticas tradicionales de la niñez maya, situándolos en el marco de conservación de los programas de observación de aves en Yucatán. Identificamos que dichos programas influyen en los saberes tradicionales, no obstante, las infancias muestran capacidad de decidir qué conocimientos occidentales incluir y ante cuáles resistir en favor de su sistema de saberes. Las prácticas tradicion…
Biospheres reserves and social-ecological well-being: The case of Tehuacán-Cuicatlán, Mexico
Biosphere reserves (BRs) have been effective in safeguarding biodiversity, yet their implementation has resulted in contentious outcomes for local communities. In this study, we examine the impact of a BR in southern Mexico on the social-ecological well-being (SEWB) of a peasant community. A total of 38 semi-structured and informal interviews were conducted with local residents and park rangers, and qualitative data collection and analysis method…
Inclusion in body and mind: Ensuring full participation of Indigenous peoples and local communities in decisions related to nature
The inclusion of the knowledge and perspectives of Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLC) in global sciencepolicy processes are increasingly being mandated. This is indicative of the recognition of their expertise and worldviews to inform social and ecological decisions. The IPBES Values Assessment (VA) explicitly highlighted the necessity for a nuanced engagement of different actors while undertaking valuation for decisions related to n…
Contested agricultural landscapes: From an individual to a common issue for stingless beekeepers a case from Veracruz, México
Land use change (LUC) alters habitat quality and the provision of ecosystem services that affect economic activities, such as beekeeping. For beekeeping, landscapes reveal individual decisions that determine its productive potential, thus, landscapes can be considered a common pool resource. To understand how land use preferences shape scenarios that suggest the aggregated effects of decisions on beekeeping in agricultural landscapes, a participa…
Agricultural intensification increases farmers' income but reduces food self-sufficiency and bee diversity: Evidence from southeast Mexico
The tropical region of Hopelchén, southeastern Mexico, is a place of high contrasts in terms of the agricultural intensity of production systems and landscape configuration: It presents enormous areas of conserved forest and at the same time the highest rate of deforestation in Mexico. The consequences of agricultural intensification in this region are the subject of our research. We surveyed 80 farmers, whom we grouped into seven types, and deve…
Diverse values of nature for sustainability
Twenty-five years since foundational publications on valuing ecosystem services for human well-being 1,2 , addressing the global biodiversity crisis 3 still implies confronting barriers to incorporating nature’s diverse values into decision-making. These barriers include powerful interests supported by current norms and legal rules such as property rights, which determine whose values and which values of nature are acted on. A better understandin…
Evaluation of the human-otter conflict in central Veracruz, Mexico: Recommendations for mitigation
Evaluating human–wildlife conflict is necessary to reach positive long-term management solutions and aid the conservation of biodiversity. We used indirect approaches to evaluate the Human–Neotropical otter conflict in three river basins with high fishing activity in western Mexico and provided recommendations to mitigate the conflict by identifying the variables that increase the risk of predation of ponds by otters. Human–Otter conflict was mod…
Signposts on the road toward transformative governance: How a stronger focus on diverse values can enhance environmental policies
Transformative change toward sustainability is increasingly recognized as inevitable to avoid the collapse of socio-ecological systems. However, for a deep and system-wide transformation, governance approaches and policymaking need to be changed too. This paper discusses how a diverse value approach in environmental policymaking could be undertaken to foster transformative governance that can further lead to system-wide transitions. Based on the …
A regional Pecs node built from place-based social-ecological sustainability research in Latin America and the Caribbean
Sustainability requires a combination of meaningful co-production of locally relevant solutions, synthesis of insights gained across regions, and increased cooperation between science, policy and practice. The Programme for Ecosystem Change and Society (PECS) has been coordinating Place-Based Social-Ecological Sustainability Research (PBSESR) across the globe and emphasizes the need for regional scientific nodes from diverse biocultural regions t…

Biocultural Diversity Loss: The Decline of Native Stingless Bees (Apidae: Meliponini) and Local Ecological Knowledge in Michoacán, Western México

Community managed forests and forest protected areas: An assessment of their conservation effectiveness across the tropics
Community Landscape Planning for Rural Areas: A Model for Biocultural Resource Management
We propose a theoretical model for resource management in the tropics that includes biological and cultural aspects, called the Biocultural Resource Management Model. The model is a strategy for co-responsible landscape planning that could be implemented in rural areas with local populations as the drivers of conservation, restoration, and management of natural resources. It comprises different units of production and management conservation leve…
Is community-based forest management more effective than protected areas?
La apicultura y el paisaje maya. Estudio sobre la fenología de floración de las especies melíferas y su relación con el ciclo apícola en La Montaña, Campeche, México
The important melliferous and polliniferous species of the La Montaña Region, found north of the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve in the state of Campeche, Mexico, were studied in relation to their flowering phenology and the beekeeping cycle. More than 100 plant species are used by bees, of which at least 67 genera and 31 families were identified. Honey production in this region depends to a great extent on the multiple flowerings of the forest, which…
