We use the writing process as a springboard to think through the ways that interdisciplinary exchange has and might further inform the ethical use of new technologies, such as drones. This approach is vital, we argue, because while drones may be deployed as tools that enable or empower forest, wildlife or habitat monitoring practices, so too can they be variously disruptive, repurposed and/or exceed these applications in significant ways. From questions of surveillance and capture, data ownership and security, to noise disruption, drone use requires careful and critical reflection, particularly in sensitive contexts. Yet, interdisciplinary exchange attentive to the ethical, social and experiential dimensions of drone use remains patchy and thin. To this end, this intervention reflects on the process of a group of scho...

While critical voices have highlighted the threat of ‘green securitisation’ and surveillance in contexts where drones are deployed for nature conservation, Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs) worldwide have also begun using drones – most often in alliance with non-governmental organisations or researchers – exploring this technology’s potential to advance their own territorial, political and socio-ecological goals. Against this backdrop, this paper examines six different experiences in five countries where communities are using small drones in areas of high ecological and cultural diversity with international significance for nature conservation. We highlight the ways that communities deploy drones – both in terms of their motivations and actual use strategies. We also reflect upon the opportunities and barriers that IPLCs and their collaborators encounter in designing...

Desde una perspectiva teórica y práctica el libro se articula en torno a dos preguntas: ¿Cómo los procesos de integración global han transformado el espacio, las relaciones, los patrones sociales y ambientales de los territorios locales? y ¿Cómo puede contribuir la Geografía Ambiental a la revisión del sistema global dominante y responder a prioridades de la sociedad y gobiernos? Los trece capítulos del libro, distribuidos en cuatro secciones, reflexionan en las complejas transformaciones del territorio para abonar a la comprensión de cómo los territorios locales participan, se adaptan o resisten a los cambios impuestos por las dinámicas globales.

Environment, Development and Sustainability

Different scientific disciplines have analyzed these problems in-depth, but usually from their comfort zone, i.e., without engagement with other disciplines and epistemologies. The predominance of disciplinary visions seriously limits, however, understanding the complexities of the corporate food regime, including the impacts it generates. Further, most research concerned with this food regime confronts epistemological, methodological, and political limitations to engage with the type of solutions that could lead to transitions to just sustainabilities. Here we review and integrate the findings from scientific literature focused on the ecological, social, or ethical impacts of the corporate food regime, with an emphasis on impacts that operate on a global scale. In addition, we analyze the need for crit...

Los diferentes capítulos fueron desarrollados en un intercambio entre los autores y autoras y los editores para dar cuenta de la diversidad de conflictos que acontecen en Latinoamérica, tomando estudios de caso de Argentina, Brasil, Colombia y México. A través de ellos se reflexiona en profundidad respecto a las causas que los originan, su complejidad en términos de actores e intereses involucrados y su correlato en impactos sociales, culturales, económicos, políticos y ecológicos. Fiel al espíritu que se persigue en la Red CoLCA, en sus trabajos los autores y las autoras analizan y ponen en discusión la puja de racionalidades y de sentido que involucran los conflictos, su productividad social, institucional y política y las desigualdades que se dan a la hora de tener que afrontar los impactos tanto positiv...

In the Global South, however, there are already numerous and diverse agroecological initiatives driven by peasant communities, indigenous peoples, and grassroots organizations. Although many agroecological innovations developed by such grassroots groups have been identified, they have seldom been analyzed under a specific theoretical framework of innovation (e.g., grassroots innovation). To contribute to this gap, in this paper we review the existing literature on agroecology that is concerned with innovation. Further, we analyze three case studies in Michoacán (Mexico) using two theoretical frameworks: grassroots innovation and transitions to sustainability. The cases illustrate different visions and ways of practicing agroecology, as well as the development of several agroecological innovations. Our study provides empirical evidence about the potential of grassroots groups in the Global South for creating innovations that can be useful in the transition to a more just and sustainable food regime based on agroecology. This evidence has important implications for policy making in agriculture, climate change and biocultural conservation.

Habitat fragmentation and habitat loss are two of the primary causes of biodiversity loss worldwi... more Habitat fragmentation and habitat loss are two of the primary causes of biodiversity loss worldwide. There is abundant literature addressing the factors driving habitat loss and fragmentation in the Amazon basin, yet little is known of how cultural and economic changes may be related to landscape change. In this paper, we present a case study of the Tsimane’, an indigenous society native to the Bolivian Amazon, to evaluate the relationship between Tsimane’ cultural and economic change and the levels of fragmentation and habitat loss in the landscape surrounding their villages. Socioeconomic and cultural data were collected through household surveys (n = 778), and landscape metrics for each village (n = 59) were derived from a classified Landsat satellite image. We performed spatial analyses and multivariate regressions to study the associations between social and landscape data. Our results suggest that although habitat fragmentation abitat fragmentation and habitat loss are relativ...

Sin embargo, no comprendemos bien a que se debe su eficacia. En este estudio comparamos la eficacia de cinco videos sobre explotacion animal versus una platica y un control para motivar cambios en el consumo alimentario. Encuestamos a estudiantes de 25 grupos en tres escuelas preparatorias (15-18 anos) en Ciudad de Mexico durante dos visitas (n=659 y n=551, respectivamente). Evaluamos sus creencias y actitudes hacia los demas animales, su consumo de alimentos de origen animal antes y despues de los tratamientos, y su disposicion a disminuir o eliminar el consumo de dichos alimentos. Todos los tratamientos motivaron la disposicion a disminuir o eliminar el consumo de productos animales, pero los videos largos con violencia explicita fueron los tratamientos mas eficaces. Encontramos diferencias significativas segun genero y consumo inicial. Nuestro estudio es relevante para el activismo v...

Abstract The theory of innovation, which is mainly associated with business, competitiveness, and... more Abstract The theory of innovation, which is mainly associated with business, competitiveness, and generation of economic value, has been enriched by the emergence of new, broader, and more inclusive approaches that contemplate other types of innovation. Among these emergent types, social innovation has gained much academic attention. However, the emerging wealth of definitions and conceptualizations of social innovation generates a growing confusion about what it is and what it is not, that is because until now there are no clear limits to the concept. Therefore, our aim with this paper is to analyze the scope and boundaries of the concept of social innovation and propose what cannot be considered social innovation, which need to be improved with new approaches, this because the standard definitions of innovation are insufficient. We propose a set of necessary elements for considering a phenomenom as social innovation through content analysis of the literature. Our research is timely and relevant because it provides a conceptual framework to use the term social innovation more rigorously, both in academia and in the public and private sectors that have embraced it.

Despite a growing academic interest in community drones, most experiences have been documented as gray literature and there are still no publications that review and systematize their use worldwide. Here, we present an overview of the first experiences using community drones—what we refer to as their global emergence (2012–2017). We reviewed gray and academic literature in English and Spanish for the period 2012–2017. We then analyzed the experiences according to their location, date, purpose, type of drone(s) used, agent(s) that carried them out, and methodology used for community participation; “good” and “bad” practices were also included when information was available. We reviewed 39 experiences and found that (1) they mostly occurred in Latin America from 2014; (2) commercial and multirotor drones were the most frequently employed; (3) the ...
