Sustainable development goals (SDG): A view from the Andean altiplano, Latin America
In 2015, the United Nations (UN) General Assembly adopted the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This agenda has 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are “an urgent call for action by all countries”. Each of the 17 SDGs has a corresponding icon and a brief description of its targets. The 17 SDGs have a total of 169 targets, whose iconography was produced by Project Everyone, a UN Global Partner for SDG Advocacy and Outreach. In…
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 …
Práctica Arqueológica y Comunicación Pública de la Ciencia en Barrancas (Puna de Jujuy, Argentina)
El presente artículo describe cómo, en el Proyecto Arqueológico Barrancas (PAB), hemos trabajado para colaborar con la puesta en valor y gestión del patrimonio cultural arqueológico de la localidad de Barrancas (Departamento Cochinoca, Jujuy). Uno de sus objetivos es presentar los fundamentos teórico-metodológicos desde los cuales entendemos la gestión y puesta en valor de dicho patrimonio, como son la arqueología pública y la comunicación públic…
Arundo/Phragmites: Identification and Uses of Essential Plants in Mediterranean Civilizations
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…
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…
South American Camelids: Their values and contributions to people
Le parc urbain des papillons: Un dispositif collaboratif de recherche, formation et diffusion des connaissances sur la biodiversité urbaine
Dans les zones urbaines du monde entier, les scientifiques ont observé l’homogénéisation de la biodiversité. De plus, l’urbanisation et les modes de vie modernes ont considérablement réduit les connaissances et les interactions de l’homme avec la nature. Ces deux phénomènes ont de graves conséquences pour la conservation de la biodiversité. Dans cet article, nous présentons la conception et la mise en œuvre, par un large éventail d’acteurs, d’un …
On the Brink of Extinction: Llama Caravans Arriving at the Santa Catalina Fair, Jujuy, Argentina
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…
A model for llama (Lama glamaLinnaeus, 1758) domestication in the southern Andes
The aim of this paper is to present a three-stage model that specifies the possible mechanisms for the domestication of the guanaco (Lama guanicoe cacsilensis Lönnberg, 1913), which gave origin to the llama (Lama glama Linnaeus, 1758). A more comprehensive analytical framework is proposed, beyond the wild-domestic dichotomy. The model takes into account the interaction of two components: animal and human behaviors. Simultaneously, we analyse the …
Dinámica De Pastoreo en Dos Comunidades De La Puna De Jujuy, Argentina: Lagunillas Del Farallón Y Suripujio
En el presente trabajo se realiza un anlisis comparativo de la dinmica del pastoreo en dos comunidades de la puna o altiplano jujeo, a fin de identificar las diversas estrategias empleadas para reducir los riesgos y la incertidumbre asociada a la actividad pastoril. La comunidad de Lagunillas del Faralln se ubica en el extremo noroeste de la puna de la provincia de Jujuy, donde los pastores cran principalmente llamas y cabras con un sistema de ro…
