“…This will be possible only with modifications to the current objectives, which are focused on consumption. It will therefore be necessary to make the distinction between basic and functional material needs, discourage consumption, and propose other values that can offer well-being to people [108].…”

“…However, in articulating these ideas, the work around culture concentrates once again on obtaining a monetary value and the commercialization of cultural products in global markets [123,124]. In these terms, sustainable development represents a limited interpretation of the biosphere, socio-ecosystems, and culture [107,108]. However, there are alternatives in the form of useful scientific, epistemic, and ontological tools with which society can redefine its relationship-objective and subjective-with nature, with the ethics and aesthetics of life as a central theme.…”

“…In order to widen the notion of sustainability, which is the objective of this study, based on complexity and transdisciplinary knowledge, some important perspectives and arguments were selected from various disciplines and integrated into an analysis and synthesis in the light of transversal concepts such as life, ethics, and culture. A broader description of the theoretical framework of this study is presented in an article by the same authors published in 2018 [108].…”

“…It must be an inclusive process that respects the diversity of races, beliefs, preferences, age, ideologies, and many dichotomies that divide people. Dichotomies that are an illusion that do not allow us to see that we are part of the web of life [69], but dichotomies can be overcome with dialogue [108] and concepts like the of excluded middle principle of Nicolescu [125]. Once again, the solution to the old supposed dichotomy between freedom and equity is a healthy and functional combination of both.…”

“…At present, human activity is strongly influenced by the logic of markets and economic growth, which is the discourse encrusted into society. This logic is rarely questioned in business or politics spheres; it is simply assumed, and goals are established as a function of objectives that are mainly related to economic growth [108].…”

In its most recent report, the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) announced an unprecedented dangerous decline in biodiversity, one of the planetary limits that are currently being surpassed. The results and trends of socio–ecosystemic problems oblige us to attempt to understand and address the global crisis. Socio–ecosystemic problems are not only ethical and moral challenges but also ones of interest and security, since the financial resources available will be insufficient for people immersed in a sick and dysfunctional society. In this sense, science plays a central role in offering alternatives. This work is a theoretical construction, based on complexity and transdiscipline, that aims to offer these alternatives. It is enriched by several areas of knowledge, with the objective of broadening the interpretation of sustainability and overcoming some of the limitations of existing approaches through the recognition of the objective and subjective relationships between humans and ecosystems. Socio–ecosystemic sustainability is an adaptative process, taking the principles of strong sustainability and autopoiesis as an explanation of living and the processes that maintain and reproduce it. It is argued that goals centered on a vision of economic growth are not coherent with the natural processes of the biosphere—as shown by thermodynamics and complex systems—nor, indeed, with a functional society. The health and life on planet is a compelling reason for seeking dialogue between individuals and coherence in the three dimensions of socio–ecosystem sustainability.

Historically, Mexico has had an important role in primate conservation research, however, studies have rarely included the human dimensions of primatology.Inclusion of these disciplines should be a priority, considering that human activities are responsible for the current socio-ecological crisis. Mexico is habitat for three primate species, and all are threatened. This urgency demands new approaches and broader perspectives. First, we propose three main research frameworks relevant for conducting PCEPs in Latin America: Participatory Action Research, Arts-based education in PCEPs and Knowledge Coproduction. Furthermore, we aimed to (1) describe a case study about primate conservation education in Southern Mexico based on participatory visual methods under the umbrella of Participatory Action Research (PAR), and (2) to conduct a self-reflective, critical, straightforward, and constructive analysis of the experience. We discuss the various challenges faced during the process (e.g., traditional teaching prevalence at schools, teachers that are not school-based, time and academic constraints). Additionally, we highlight some PAR aspects applicable for researchers and practitioners interested to go further than knowledge transmission (e.g., codesign, arts-based education, placed-based education, critical thinking, and capacity building). To collectively progress in primate conservation education in Mexico and other Latin American countries, projects could greatly benefit from context-specific, people-centered approaches, such as PAR. We encourage researchers to share more of their personal research experiences including both their successes and failures.
