Amazonian fish migration as a social–cultural–ecological process
In this study, we highlight the rich perspectives and explanations of fish migration held by Indigenous groups across the Amazon. We present the aspects of Indigenous cosmological stories, drawing from our exploratory review of cultural ethnographies and grey literature, as well as the authors' own experiences. We ask, how do Amazonian peoples characterize fish migrations in story and cosmovision? We apply a movement ecology framework to present …
Why nature matters: A systematic review of intrinsic, instrumental, and relational values
In this article, we present results from a literature review of intrinsic, instrumental, and relational values of nature conducted for the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, as part of the Methodological Assessment of the Diverse Values and Valuations of Nature. We identify the most frequently recurring meanings in the heterogeneous use of different value types and their association with worldviews a…
Amazon communities displaced by hydroelectric dams: Implications for environmental changes and householdś livelihood
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…
An inclusive typology of values for navigating transformations towards a just and sustainable future
Achieving the intertwined goals of justice and sustainability requires transformative changes to meaningfully engage diverse perspectives. Therefore, scholars and policymakers need new ways of recognising and addressing nature’s multiple values across cultures, disciplines and other knowledge traditions. By reviewing academic publications, policy documents and Indigenous and local community sources, we developed an inclusive typology of nature’s …
Philosophies of good living and values of nature: Power and uncertainties in decision-making to achieve social-environmental justice in the Americas
Translating Best Practice Principles into criteria for evaluating the consideration of biodiversity in SEA practice
Biodiversity is a core issue in the quest to achieve sustainable development. Although Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) includes biodiversity as an environmental component to consider in decision-making, its inclusion remains a challenge. Since the beginning of SEA practice, several guides have been proposed to address this challenge, but evaluating their success remains problematic. This paper, therefore, aims to develop an easily applie…

Challenges for the Governance of Small-Scale Fisheries on the Brazil-Bolivia Transboundary Region
Developing institutional arrangements for supporting sustainable fisheries has been a critical challenge for the governance of common-pool resources, especially in transboundary regions. In this paper, we analyze the impact of governance arrangements on a small-scale fishery system on the Brazil-Bolivia border in the Amazon region. Data collection involved documental analysis, literature review and conduction of semi-structured interviews with fi…

Mapping research on hydropower and sustainability in the Brazilian Amazon: Advances, gaps in knowledge and future directions
South–South Transnational Advocacy: Mobilizing Against Brazilian Dams in the Peruvian Amazon
South–South transnational advocacy networks (SSTANs) targeting emerging states, Southern companies, and their supporting institutions warrant nuanced distinctions from traditional transnational advocacy networks that are heavily reliant on Northern actors and targets, particularly in terms of the strategies and arguments they employ. This article analyzes the dynamics of SSTANs through the case of an environmental campaign against Brazilian hydro…
Intellectual Property Rights and Ethnobiology: An Update on Posey's Call to Action
Following the 1988 International Congress of Ethnobiology, at which the Belém Declaration had been adopted, Darrell Posey published a global call to action for researchers and policy makers to address outstanding issues related to the protection of Indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) (1990a). ILK protections are today largely treated as a matter of intellectual property rights, a field whose global political landscape has undergone intense regul…

Adaptive Strategies to Displacement and Environmental Change Among the Kaiabi Indigenous People of the Brazilian Amazon
Environmental change, geographical displacement, and disputes over land and resources have increased around the world. This article focuses on strategies developed by the Kaiabi indigenous people to cope and adapt to environmental change after development-forced displacement and resettlement in the Brazilian Amazon. A mixed methods approach was adopted, combining ethnographic and quantitative methods. Semistructured interviews were performed amon…

Introduction: Indigenous Peoples, Dams and Resistance
The contributions presented in this first "Contemporary Debate" of the journal Tipit focus on the contentious politics surrounding the building of hydroelectric dams in the Amazon.These articles speak to broader questions regarding indigenous rights, social movements, resistance, and the implementation of public policies for social-environmental governance in Latin America (UN 2009).The debate is offered in a moment when the expansion of largesca…
"Adaptive Resistance," Conservation, and Development in the Brazilian Amazon: Contradictions of Political Organization and Empowerment in the Kaiabi Diaspora
Indigenous peoples have been active players in the process of securing land rights and conserving about 21 percent of the Brazilian Amazon. In this article, we examine advances and contradictions in the process of "adaptive resistance" by Amazonian indigenous peoples in terms of their seeking alliances and funding from outside allies, adapting institutions and social organization, and reconstructing self-representations for securing and managing …

The Intersections of Biological Diversity and Cultural Diversity: Towards Integration
There is an emerging recognition that the diversity of life comprises both biological and cultural diversity.In the past, however, it has been common to make divisions between nature and culture, arising partly out of a desire to control nature.The range of interconnections between biological and cultural diversity are reflected in the growing variety of environmental sub-disciplines that have emerged.In this article, we present ideas from a numb…

Participatory Research and Management of Arumã (Ischnosiphon Gracilis [Rudge] Köern., Marantaceae) by the Kaiabi People in the Brazilian Amazon
Participatory research among the Kaiabi people at Xingu Indigenous Park in the southern Brazilian Amazon was conducted to support sound natural resource management. We studied aspects of the ethnoecology of an understory herbaceous plant, arumã (Ischnosiphon gracilis, Marantaceae), used in basketry weaving by Kaiabi men. Results of a three-year survey comparing arumã populations and of a transplanting experiment evaluating the growth of arumã see…
