The Unequal Partnership Behind Biodiversity Conservation Efforts in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
The growing demand for inclusivity in conservation has led international conservation organisations (ICOs) to collaborate more with local conservation organisations (LCOs). This paper assesses such partnerships through a community-led initiative establishing a wildlife corridor between Maiko and Kahuzi-Biega National Parks. In this region, resource conflicts are often cited as a political justification for recurring conservation failures. However…
Feeling, acting and connecting rivers: The experience of the San Pedro River Rescue Collective in Ecuador
The San Pedro River Rescue Collective was born in 2021 as a citizen group whose goal is to restore the San Pedro River and its banks, which flow from the Illiniza volcano through Quito and its valleys towards the Pacific Ocean. One of the main dreams of its members is to bathe again in the river, as the past generation of their fathers and mothers did thirty years ago. The San Pedro River is facing multiple sources of contamination, from intensiv…
Unshaping Model Forests in the Global South: Trans-local Politics and Community Forestry Knowledge Circulation in Ecuador and Cameroon
Forest communities around the world are increasingly connected to defend territorial and community rights over lands and forests. This is how the International Model Forest Network (IMFN) was created in 1995 by the Government of Canada, aiming at bringing together a diverse association of individuals and groups towards a common vision of sustainable development across extensive landscapes. In 2002, the Ibero-American Model Forest Network (RIABM) …
Decolonizing Knowledge
In Ecuador, the Andean highlands ecosystems, also known as páramos, are essential for producing water for human consumption and irrigation. Some páramos in the country are managed by indigenous communities that have contributed to their conservation through principles of reciprocity, territory and culture. However, these community-led initiatives are often marginalized by techno-scientific discourses and visions of water as promoted by public aut…
Resistencia, negociación y cocreación de saberes para la construcción del Fondo Plurinacional del Agua en el territorio Kayambi, Ecuador: Resistance, negotiation and co-creation of knowledge for the c…
A escala global, los expertos internacionales producen conocimientos sobre servicios ecosistémicos, muchas veces asociados a visiones tecnocientíficas del recurso hídrico. A escala local, esas visiones muchas veces compiten con reclamos de justicia hídrica y conocimiento local o tradicional, defendido por movimientos de base. Este análisis se basa en un estudio de caso en la región de Cayambe, en la sierra norte del Ecuador, donde la Confederació…
Knowledges co-creation and water conservation in the Global Souths: An introduction
This Special Issue seeks to offer empirical evidence of the forms of knowledge valued by different actors involved in water conservation practices, the dynamics of cross-fertilization dynamics, and possible tensions that emerge. It investigates knowledge dialogue and co-creation around water conservation through case studies at the local, regional and global levels, and including various types of actors - local and indigenous communities, parish …
Knowledge politics around water, development and ecosystem services in Ecuador: Creative encounters and resistances
A vast amount of literature has investigated the conflicts between different ways of conceiving development in Latin America. Particular attention has been paid to power differentials among knowledge systems when it comes to decision-making, values and practices over water resources. The Ecosystem Services framework or Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) are often analysed as examples of technical and scientific tools typically produced …
The multiple forms of racism and the challenges it poses to higher education systems
Racism is an ideology according to which human beings are classifiable into "races" and some of them are "superior" to others. This ideology is not only expressed and exercised through "visible" social practices, which is what the application of the expression "racial discrimination" is usually limited. It also operates through disadvantages accumulated over centuries, the existence of which has been "naturalized". These disadvantages are the res…
Implementing Climate Change Adaptation Policies Across Scales: Challenges for Knowledge Coproduction in Andean Mountain Socio-ecosystems
The Andean region presents specific challenges related to its globally important natural heritage, the broad range of pressures on landscapes and ecosystems that accentuate the effects of climate change (CC), and a great diversity of institutional arrangements and policy tools to increase the adaptive capacity of socioecological systems and related disaster risk reduction strategies. In this context, regional readings are needed to generate a mul…

La biodiversité, outil d’intégration transnationale des discours et pratiques de gestion forestière communautaire et territoriale
Depuis les années 1990, la gouvernance des forêts fait l’objet d’une globalisation croissante dans le cadre des politiques internationales de réduction de la déforestation, puis de conservation de la biodiversité et de lutte contre le changement climatique. Face à ces enjeux et à la relative absence des communautés locales au sein des arènes internationales, des organisations communautaires forestières se sont regroupées sous forme de réseaux nat…
How do transnational grassroots networks reframe the global norms of water and forests governance
The current era of globalization and commodification has had a substantial impact on common-pool resources governance. In direct response to this, community-based organizations managing water and forests at the local level began to create their own transnational networks. Primarily, these organizations aim to achieve direct representation in international decision-making arenas in order to promote their model of collective governance. By reframin…
