| Summary: | eng: In the race to protect remaining tracts of neotropical forests and the resources they harbor, the Western concept of biological conservation has become the dominate modus operandi for protecting natural areas in Latin America. Through the establishment of first-world style protected area systems, indigenous cultures and traditional resource-uses have historically been considered only in light of how they may affect biodiversity and ecosystem function within protected areas. Case studies of various indigenous cultures onto which protected areas have been superimposed demonstrate the documented and potential negative effects on both biological and cultural systems, and the connection between the two. An understanding of these effects is important in cultural and biological conservation. These factors should be considered in the design and management of inhabited protected natural areas. The unique bottom-up management of the Kuna and Kayapò reserves may provide insight for the establishment of mutually-effective conservation areas that meet the dynamic, evolving needs of indigenous peoples in an increasingly complex and interconnected world. |
