Nature conservation, rural livelihoods, and territorial control in Andean Ecuador. HIMLEY, M. Geoforum, 40(5):832–842, 2009. ![Nature conservation, rural livelihoods, and territorial control in Andean Ecuador [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex The Ecuadorian sierra, or Andean region, has during recent decades witnessed a marked expansion of nature conservation initiatives. This paper explores the relations and tensions between this proliferation of conservation interventions and the struggles of rural Andean communities to assert territorial authority and to consolidate their livelihoods. Through an analysis of three rounds of conservation initiatives in an indigenous campesino cooperative in the south-central sierra, I argue for a conceptualization of the outcomes and trajectories of conservation as coproduced through histories of interaction between conservation actors and rural resource users. Within this analytical framework, I underscore the importance of taking into account the agency of rural communities, their historical landscape claims, and the dynamism of their livelihood interests.
