Beyond the assessment on the diverse values of nature
Nosotros, los Andes [We, the Andes]. Edited by Rebecca Jarman and Victoria Vargas-Downing
Celebration of the International Year of Camelids in Santa Catalina, a pastoral community in the Andean Altiplano of Jujuy, Argentina
The United Nations (UN) declared the year 2024 as the International Year of Camelids, a term that includes both Old World camels and South American camelids. The official organization of the celebrations was in charge of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and local events were also encouraged to take place. In this context, in the Andean pastoral locality of Santa Catalina, Jujuy, Argentina, the Community Council (which is comprised of …
Las llamas como componentes bioculturales de la Puna de Catamarca
Desde un análisis etnozoológico enmarcado teóricamente en el “sistema de acoplamiento entre la naturaleza y las personas” o CHANS se presentan saberes, actitudes y estrategias de manejo de camélidos registrados entre pobladores de dos localidades altiplánicas del departamento de Antofagasta de la Sierra (Catamarca, Argentina). Identificamos cuatro CHANs, tres de ellos históricos (prehispánico, colonial, republicano) y los resultados de este traba…
Vicuñas ( Vicugna vicugna ), Wild Andean Altiplano Camelids
In these case studies, vicuñas are presented as biocultural components of the Andean altiplano’s socioecological landscape. The environmental history of vicuñas is related to the multiple values of the species, especially of its appreciated fiber as a nature contribution to people. Vicuñas were in risk of extinction, but thanks to conservation policies, the engagement of local communities, and the efforts of scientists and naturalists, this speci…
Environmental Education as a Means for Valuing and Conserving Camelids and Pastoralism in the Argentinean Altiplano of Jujuy
Andean pastoralism, like other pastoral systems around the world, is under stress due to climate change, land tenure regimes, pressures to become sedentary, difficulties in interacting with market-based economies, isolation, and youth emigration. Over the years, we have proposed different environmental education (EE) strategies targeting local Andean stakeholders and university students, including interventions in primary schools. This paper pres…
On the Brink of Extinction
The practice of using llama (Lama glama) caravans has decreased in Jujuy, northwestern Argentina, in recent years. Peasants, in this area known as pastores, llameros, or caravaneros, belong to Andean indigenous communities in Nor Lipez, Bolivia. The llameros, with their caravans, travel essentially to barter llama fiber in exchange for industrial food-products, mainly flour and sugar. The caravan trip to and from Santa Catalina takes an average o…
