The making of a conservation frontier
In Patagonia, emerging concerns over environmental degradation in frontier territories suggest the constitution of a new type of frontier-the conservation frontier-in which nature is an object of consumption rather than extraction. Conservation frontiers are made through disputed forms of spatialization, in which wilderness can be a refuge, a source of capital accumulation, and a new space for political experimentation. Three overlapping yet conf…

Conserving and Extracting Nature
Tanto como los pueblos de la Amazonía son conocidos en antropología por haber desafiado ideas modernistas de "la naturaleza," industrias extractivas y varios proyectos de desarrollo los colocan al frente de conflictos acerca del medio ambiente.

Waiwai emphases on an obligation of care implied through e…
