    Planning for autonomy and conservation: ‘Life Plans’ and communal reserves in the Amazonian borders of Peru
    (Routledge, 2024-01-01)
    State-promoted biodiversity conservation can either align with or diverge from Indigenous Peoples’ priorities, knowledge, and self-determined development paths. Drawing on fieldwork at the Amazon borders of Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, this paper examines Indigenous organizations’ efforts to uphold territorial rights and pursue planning with Indigenous values in landscapes earmarked for conservation. The key question centers on how ‘border configurations’ affect grassroots planning and conservation focusing on the experience of Peruvian Secoya (Siékopai) People. Using expert interviews and ethnographic methods, the paper finds that conservation agencies risk losing credibility without genuine efforts toward social equity and well-being, constrained by mandates that often neglect local needs. The success of Life Plans depends on solidarity networks that balance conservation with viable economic alternatives, equitable power dynamics, and access to services. Ultimately, the paper shows that Life Plans empower Indigenous organizations, offering meaningful options for political self-representation within Amazonian conservation.

    Cognitive-individual and social-interpersonal protective factors: dual safeguards against dropout intentions in Peru
    (Taylor & Francis, 2025-01-01)
    University attrition is a multicausal phenomenon that calls for an examination of sociodemographic, institutional, academic and psychological factors. In Peru, regional disparities, the unregulated expansion of universities and high rates of dropout have raised concerns about the considerable loss of valuable human resources. This study adopts a quantitative approach to identify the role of social-interpersonal factors (social skills and social support), as mediated by cognitive-individual ones (goal efficacy and planning), in the development of dropout intentions among university students. The sample included 536 students from eight universities, both public and private, in three regions of Peru. Findings show that students with higher levels of social support and social skills are less likely to develop dropout intentions, particularly when these factors are mediated by goal efficacy and planning. Differences were observed based on sex and region. It is concluded that social-interpersonal factors are strong mitigators of dropout intentions, especially if mediated by cognitive-individual factors. Identifying these underlying psychological factors can help university leaders design multidimensional strategies for student retention. This study will contribute to support public policies and further interventions oriented to reduce the loss of highly educated individuals who could positively transform Peruvian society.
