... Desde la perspectiva de la Conservación de Fortaleza la naturaleza debe ser "protegida de" los humanos (Masarella et al. 2021;Nash 2014;Locke 2013) y preservada en un estado prístino, preexistente a las actividades humanas y sus impactos. Si bien este paradigma ha sido relativamente exitoso en términos de la conservación biológica (Oates 1999;Brandon et al. 1998;Kramer et al. 1997), el establecimiento de áreas protegidas ha incrementado procesos de desposesión y desigualdad, generando diversos tipos de conflictos socioespaciales (Brockington et al. 2006;Fisher et al. 2005;Few 2000;Ghimire 1994). Esto se debe a que, en general, este tipo de conservación no ha considerado las formas de vida y prácticas sociales sostenidas previamente por las comunidades humanas que han habitado históricamente los territorios seleccionados para el establecimiento de áreas protegidas, lo que ha generado restricciones a los grupos locales en el acceso a espacios y uso de recursos fundamentales para sostener sus medios de vida (Rodríguez et al. 2021;Büscher 2015;Songorwa 1999;Ghimire 1994). ...

Social Transformations in Marine Conservation: The Case of the Multiple-Use Coastal Marine Protected Area Pitipalena-Añihue

... To be sure, important questions remain about the underlying premises of ICDPs and community-based conservation. There may be fundamental differences in interests between international and national conservation objectives, often based on aesthetic and moral values, and local conservation objectives, often rooted in livelihood needs and where conservation of some species, for example, large mammals, may directly conflict with livelihood interests (Schelhas and Greenberg, 1996;Sanderson and Redford, 1 997). Extractive resource use inescapably brings about some ecologicai change and has the potential for negative biodiversity impacts (Redford, 1992;Freese, 19971 1998;Redford and Richter, 1999). ...

Biological Diversity: Balancing Interests Through Adaptive Collaborative Management

... The extinction of plant species has immediate and indirect economic repercussions since they are crucial sources of food and medicine, among other things (López-Pujol et al., 2006). Governments in more than 150 nations have signed an agreement for biodiversity protection, and billions of dollars have been invested on biodiversity (United Nations Environment Programmed,1992;Takacs, 1996;Sanderson and Redford., 1997;Redford et al., 1999). In the natural environment, plants are vulnerable to pest assaults from exotic vegetation herbivores and diseases such as viruses, fungus, and nematodes (Atkinson & Urwin, 2012). ...

... Biodiversity is most commonly measured as species richness (Hillebrand et al., 2018;Redford & Sanderson, 1992), meaning simply the number of species. However, species are not equally common; in an environment or taxonomic group, typically a few species will be very abundant, many will be rare, and some will be moderately abundant (Magurran, 2004). ...

... [9] have demonstrated that land use and land cover dynamics produce environmental and socio-economic impacts that frequently feedback and modify the biophysical and societal factors causing them. [10]distinguish the macro level societal factors further according to the role they play in the process of change into human driving forces, human mitigating forces, and proximate sources of change. Proximate sources of change are human actions that directly affect land cover. ...

... LULC change has several consequences on climate, ecosystems, environment, food security, and human health, and thus a significant impact on local as well as global change (Skole, 1996). It has tremendous implications for sustainable economic and environmental development (Turner, et al., 1995). ...

Land Use and Land Cover Change Analysis Using Google Earth Engine in Manamati Watershed of Kathmandu District, Nepal

... We have applied methods including ethnography, geospatial data analytics, critical discourse analysis, agent-based and land change simulation modeling, global value chain analysis, causal inference, spatial statistics, and remote sensing time series analysis. Second, while many of these methodological approaches are common in IDR, their deeper, intentional, and adaptive integration (i.e., convergence) was greatly facilitated by guidance from 'socializing the pixel' and 'pixelizing the social' heuristics (Geoghegan et al., 1998). Rooted in abductive reasoning, these approaches can use both inductive and deductive analytical methods to adjudicate among alternative hypotheses to arrive at the best explanation (Walton, 2014). ...

... Los primeros estudios destacaron los conflictos surgidos a partir de los modelos de planeación de arriba abajo; las áreas protegidas en todo el mundo han sido creadas a lo largo de más de cuatro décadas de conservacionismo a partir de criterios imbuidos de una racionalidad tecnopolítica ajena a la dimensión sociocultural de los habitantes locales. en muchos casos se denunció que los decretos de creación o las demarcaciones se realizaron sin la participación y el consenso de quienes han habitado ancestral o tradicionalmente estos territorios (ghimire y pimbert, 1997; Brandon et al., 1998;paz, 2005;trench, 2002;haenn, 2005). en lo que se ha tachado como "áreas protegidas de papel", se registran efectos adversos cuando la demarcación no incluye los mecanismos financieros ni organizacionales para gestionar dichas áreas. ...

... The declining mountainous tropical forest areas have fragile ecosystems because of their steep slopes, which can lead to serious environmental problems, e.g., soil erosion, sediment accumulation, landslides, floods, the drying of springs, habitat destruction, the loss of biodiversity, and can have a severe impact on livelihood (Briassoulis 2000;Chakravarty et al. 2011;Price et al. 2011;Haliuc et al. 2018;Kanade and John 2018). Efforts to secure mountain forest functions and develop appropriate actions and policies to counteract the negative impact of deforestation are often constrained by data uncertainty on underlying factors and drivers of deforestation (Turner et al. 1995). In the case of the MTFC, although several previous descriptive studies have proposed the causes of deforestation, i.e., wood collection, boundary and land disputes, livestock grazing, and agricultural expansion (Lentz et al. 1998;Fisher et al. 2003;Kurniadi et al. 2017), only a few studies can spatially and statistically explain the factors contributing to deforestation. ...

... Space in ecological studies has been approached by dissecting the geographic continuum into vector or raster (pixels) formats (Geoghegan et al. 1998). Other approaches based upon biophysical categories, such as regions, watersheds or aquifers have been used as surrogates for geographic framework (Wu 2006). ...
