Local Ecological Knowledge, Fishing Practices, and Perceived Threats among Kichwa, Cofán, and Siona Fishers in the Ecuadorian Amazon
Fisheries in the Ecuadorian Amazon support subsistence, cultural identity, and local economies, yet facethreats from oil extraction, agricultural expansion, and overfishing. This study integrates Local Ecological Knowledge (LEK) and fishing practices from 53 Kichwa, Siona, and Cofán fishers in seven communities across the Napo and Aguarico watersheds. Using structured and open-ended questionnaires, we recorded information on fishing techniques, s…
What is behind land use change in tropical forests? From local relations to global mining concessions
The global population depends on mineral and agricultural products sourced from tropical forests, driving land use changes with widespread impacts to biodiversity, food-security, and forest integrity. Land use change is thus the result of decisions taken by farmers, collectives, and institutions with different cultural backgrounds who are influenced by social and market relations at local and global scales. As a result, multiple (often contested)…

We present the Andean Social–Ecological Observatory Network (ROSA, for Red de Observatorios Socioecológicos Andinos), a continent-wide monitoring initiative established to address major challenges in the management of knowledge on social–ecological systems (SES) in the Andes. The Andes, the longest mountain chain in the world, provide key ecosystem services for human wellbeing across the continent. However, the region faces multiple impacts assoc…
Restoring Andean Landscapes to Secure Local Environmental Services and Global Benefits
Effective landscape restoration practices require scientific knowledge about ecosystem functions, land use history, and institutional arrangements. In close collaboration with local partners, the Consortium for the Sustainable Development of the Andean Ecoregion (CONDESAN) is working to develop and assess restoration practices in Andean ecosystems. The approach combines various tools at the landscape scale, emphasizing the need to integrate resto…
Research Priorities for the Conservation and Sustainable Governance of Andean Forest Landscapes
The long-term survival of Andean forest landscapes (AFL) and of their capacity to contribute to sustainable development in a context of global change requires integrated adaptation and mitigation responses informed by a thorough understanding of the dynamic and complex interactions between their ecological and social components. This article proposes a research agenda that can help guide AFL research efforts for the next 15 years. The agenda was …
