This article presents the changes in the climatic variables of precipitation and temperature, the perceptions of producers regarding these variables, and the strategies and social, economic, and political factors that affect adaptations of small livestock producers in the páramo ecosystem at the upper Rio Fonce region. Data from 33 questionnaires,...

This article examines dams from a relational perspective, understanding them as hydrosocial infrastructures resulting from interactions between actors, their mental models, institutions, and water flows. Through a literature review in the fields of science and technology as well as socioecological studies, we identified six attributes and five draw...

Enhanced anthropogenic climatic variability challenges small farmers. In the Sumapaz páramo (Colombia), higher irregularity in precipitation and temperature reduces the quality of pasture and cattle health. Data from surveys, semi-structured interviews, and focus groups were analyzed to understand livestock farmers’ responses to the impacts of clim...

The concept and application of nature-based solutions (NBS) have been rapidly progressing in Europe and Latin America, reflecting a transition in the way that urban governance is perceived. There is a large call for the collaborative, polycentric, and interdisciplinary governance of NBS. However, research on options for operationalising these gover...

Descripción socioecológica del avistamiento de ballenas en Bahía Málaga, Pacifico Colombiano.

A portion of Colombia’s water resources is located on the Pacific coast within the territory of the Community Council of Alto and Medio Dagua (CC-AMDA). Though a harmonious balance between the communities’ subsistent activities and nature was maintained for centuries, the appearance of modern modes of resource extraction has negatively affected the...

Different social-ecological systems around the world are managed under community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) strategies. This paper analyses how CBNRM strategies influence the resilience of social-ecological systems to the disturbances they face, drawing upon the experience of three Latin American cases (two in Mexico and one in Colom...

The (experimental) research on community management of natural resources focuses on social dilemma situations between individuals. However, in most real-life situations natural resources are not only shared between individuals living in a community, but also between individuals belonging to different subgroups within the same community. For instanc...

Local communities collectively managing common pool resources can play an important role in sustainable management, but they often lack the skills and context-specific tools required for such management. The complex dynamics of social-ecological systems (SES), the need for management capacities, and communities’ limited empowerment and participatio...

Community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) is a concept critical to managing social-ecological systems but whose implementation needs strengthening. Scenario planning is one approach that may offer benefits relevant to CBNRM but whose potential is not yet well understood. Therefore, we designed, trialed, and evaluated a scenario-planning m...

Several examples of community-based natural resource management in Latin American social-ecological systems exist in which communities control the management of common-pool resources. Understanding community perceptions of the performance of these systems is essential to involve communities in sustainable management strategies. In this analysis of...

El turismo rural impacta no solamente la dimensión socioeconómica y política de las regiones. Como nueva función de la región, introducida en el territorio de la provincia de Guanentá, Colombia, el turismo rural puede entenderse como el resultado de la gestión llevada a cabo por el sistema de gobernanza y acogida por la cultura regional, en un proc...
