“…6 In other cases, locally based restoration by Indigenous peoples is often a response to the overexploitation and/or degradation by outsiders (e.g., deforestation, mining, pollution, logging) 7 (74). Indigenous peoples as well as local communities are increasingly leading and partnering on restoration activities, in collaboration with either protected area administrators and scientists (75) or neighboring farmers (76). An increasing number of cases are based on the incorporation of Indigenous and local knowledge in programs initially conceived as science-based restoration (77) in conservation areas and surroundings (78).…”

The knowledge, values, and practices of Indigenous peoples and local communities offer ways to understand and better address social-environmental problems. The article reviews the state of the literature on this topic by focusing on six pathways by which Indigenous peoples and local communities engage with management of and relationships to nature. These are ( a) undertaking territorial management practices and customary governance, ( b) contributing to nature conservation and restoration efforts with regional to global implications, ( c) co-constructing knowledge for assessments and monitoring, ( d) countering the drivers of unsustainable resource use and resisting environmental injustices, ( e) playing key roles in environmental governance across scales, and ( f ) offering alternative conceptualizations of the interrelations between people and nature. The review shows that through these pathways Indigenous peoples and local communities are making significant contributions to managing the health of local and regional ecosystems, to producing knowledge based in diverse values of nature, confronting societal pressures and environmental burdens, and leading and partnering in environmental governance. These contributions have local to global implications but have yet to be fully recognized in conservation and development polices, and by society at large. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Environment and Resources, Volume 46 is October 2021.

“…On the one side, we excluded highlanders living in the study site. Inclusion of this population might had increased the percentage of positive opinions (see Reyes-García et al, 2019). On the other side, our analysis show Tsimane' were more likely than other groups to refuse to opine about the road, an attitude that might reflect refusal to endorse the road.…”

“…Indigenous Peoples of highland origin, mostly settled around Section I of the proposed road and welcomed the project because they thought it would bring economic improvements (Reyes-García et al, 2019). In contrast, Section II was contentious from the outset and was opposed by lowland Indigenous Peoples in TIPNIS (Petherick, 2011).…”

“…Mostly drawing on information gathered from lowland Indigenous Peoples living in TIPNIS, previous scholarly works analyzing the conflict have documented fierce opposition towards the construction of the TIPNIS road (FIDH & APDHB, 2013;Reyes-García et al, 2019). In contrast, findings from our surveys indicate that during 2012 and 2013, at the peak of the conflict, about 60% of lowland Indigenous Peoples in a large sample of households from communities in the adjacent TIM territory supported the construction of the road, and that support increased between the two years.…”

Wetlands are ecosystems that are disappearing, mainly due to urban and industrial activity and their vulnerability to the effects of climate change. In Chile, regulations and initiatives for their protection have been created, which are conditioned by the influences, interests and interrelationships of the players involved in the governance system. This research analyzed the case of the wetland located in Pichicuy, currently administrated by the Municipality of La Ligua. It researches in greater depth the role of local governments in the governance of wetland protection, considering the participation of the network of players from different spheres and territorial scales. Mixed methods of social research were used to analyze the influence, interests, types of relationship and centrality measures using the Analysis of Social Networks and the UCINET 6 platform. The local government of La Ligua performs, through its Environment Department, roles that are relevant for the governance of the wetland: (1) gaining political support to manage and implement actions about the wetland, (2) acting as an intermediary between the players from different spheres of society, and (3) leading alliances with higher-scale players. These roles are strengthened by the support and resources provided by the players of the network with high interest and influence in the protection of the wetland. However, there are challenges in municipal dynamics, for example, the need to more strongly attract and involve the Municipal Council, since it has a great influence on local government decisions. It is relevant to strengthen governance for the protection of wetlands in small and rural locations, for which the local government must play a very important role, for example, through institutional recognition of the wetland and facilitating the participation of players at a local scale.
