Miradas Etnobiológicas en La Puna De Argentina
La Puna está localizada en los Andes Centrales, dominada por altiplanicies de alturas entre 3500 a 4500 msm. Es un paisaje árido, con intensa radiación solar y temperaturas extremas, y presenta evidencias de ocupaciones humanas desde hace 12.000 años. Actualmente está habitada por pueblos indígenas y comunidades locales con arraigadas maneras de relacionarse con la naturaleza y el espacio. El patrimonio biocultural es muy rico y se manifiesta en …
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…
The Puna Pastoralist System: A Coproduced Landscape in the Central Andes
In mountain socioecological systems, the interaction between nature and people is at the core of planning local long-term sustainable development strategies. Pastoralism is the main traditional socioeconomic livelihood in dryland mountains. It is strongly associated with long-established land use practices that provide essential material and relational contributions, both of which shape human populations and nature. The aim of this work is to cha…
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…
