Item type:Publication, Forest as ‘nature’ or forest as territory? Knowledge, power, and climate change conservation in the Peruvian Amazon(Taylor & Francis, 2022-10-30)This paper examines the implications of climate crisis governance for rural communities in the Amazon of Peru. It draws the attention to the shared political economy behind the resistance of diverse rural populations particularly, Indigenous and Colono communities. Based on an analysis of two local conservation interventions in the region of San Martín—one involving indigenous communities and the other peasant settlers—this study argues that narrow authorized knowledge obscures the wider historical and agrarian macro context of uneven institutional and ecological arrangements that lead to the reproduction of injustices related to the land, the underlying causes of deforestation, and the authoritarian relationships of these local communities with the state. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The Indigenous land titling trap: adaptive practices and the limits of climate governance(Elsevier BV, 2026-08-01)This article examines why Indigenous land titling, widely promoted as an enabling condition for climate action, advances without closing persistent gaps in territorial recognition. It conceptualizes this paradox as a climate titling institutional trap , in which reforms progress through adaptive practices yet remain embedded in territorial governance configurations that constrain their transformative potential. Drawing on an extended case study of Kichwa communities in San Martín, Peru, based on multi-scalar ethnographic research, the paper shows how Indigenous leaders and bureaucrats deploy pragmatic strategies to navigate administrative bottlenecks and secure partial advances in titling. However, these gains unfold within historically layered regimes of agrarian, extractive, and conservation governance that overlap and converge in limiting Indigenous territorial rights. The interaction between adaptive practices and these layered institutional orders produces incremental change without altering underlying power relations. The article contributes to development debates by reframing institutional traps as dynamic outcomes of reform processes, highlighting the political-economic conditions shaping the limits of Indigenous inclusion in climate governance. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Participation Artifacts: Conservation and Climate Governance with Indigenous Amazonian Communities(SAGE Publishing, 2025-09-01)Indigenous participation is increasingly recognized as critical for effective climate change governance. However, a gap persists between global commitments and their implementation at local levels. This paper examines the challenges of participation in forest conservation initiatives, particularly how “participation artifacts”—tools, methodologies, and mechanisms designed to facilitate participatory processes—shape Indigenous inclusion in climate governance. Drawing on Bruno Latour's actor-network theory, we investigate how these artifacts mediate power dynamics and influence decision-making processes. Through a mixed-methods approach including interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis, we find that participation artifacts often create the appearance of inclusion while reproducing the marginalization of Indigenous communities. Despite the presence of advanced participatory mechanisms, these processes fail to address Indigenous priorities and perspectives effectively, perpetuating political and social exclusion. Instead of contributing to climate justice, such mechanisms maintain power imbalances, undermine Indigenous autonomy, and jeopardize access to forests, which are essential for Indigenous livelihoods. Findings highlight the urgent need to move beyond mere technical compliance with participatory norms toward a more genuine engagement with Indigenous knowledge, leadership, and priorities. La participación indígena es cada vez más reconocida como un componente fundamental para una gobernanza climática efectiva. No obstante, persiste una brecha entre los compromisos asumidos a nivel global y su implementación en los ámbitos locales. Este artículo analiza los desafíos que plantea la participación en las iniciativas de conservación forestal, con especial énfasis en el modo en que los “artefactos de participación” —herramientas, metodologías y mecanismos diseñados para facilitar procesos participativos— configuran la inclusión indígena en la gobernanza del clima. A partir de la teoría del actor-red de Bruno Latour, se examina cómo dichos artefactos median las dinámicas de poder e inciden en los procesos de toma de decisiones. Mediante un enfoque metodológico mixto que incluye entrevistas, observación participante y análisis documental, se observa que los artefactos de participación suelen generar una apariencia de inclusión que, en realidad, reproduce la marginación de las comunidades indígenas. A pesar de la existencia de avanzados mecanismos participativos, estos procesos no logran incorporar de manera efectiva las prioridades ni las perspectivas indígenas, perpetuando así su exclusión política y social. En lugar de promover la justicia climática, dichos mecanismos tienden a preservar los desequilibrios de poder, socavar la autonomía indígena y poner en riesgo el acceso a los bosques, fundamentales para sus medios de vida. Los hallazgos evidencian la necesidad urgente de trascender el cumplimiento meramente técnico de las normas de participación y avanzar hacia un involucramiento genuino con los conocimientos, el liderazgo y las prioridades de los pueblos indígenas.2
