La Amazonia venezolana es un territorio que necesita del trabajo de los profesionales de la geografía. Está región se ha caracterizado (en los libros) como una región inhóspita e insondable. Sin embargo, es un territorio lleno culturales ancestrales con prácticas territoriales importantes. En este texto se pretende demostrar que los conocimientos geográficos están desarrollados en las diferentes culturas y sociedades en ellas convergen los conocimientos propios que son clave para la gobernanza territorial y gestión del territorio. Se narra una historia de vida personal que clarifica, cuestiona y amalgama conocimientos aprendidos en la academia y experiencias locales con los pueblos indígenas de la amazonia venezolana. Finalmente, concluye que las experiencias enriquecen el conocimiento y son base para la comprender los territorios en donde confluyen diversas voces, matices y elementos cotidianos que van configurando el espacio geográfico local y la vida en la amazonia.

The objective of this study was to contemplate the role of critical environmental education in Latin America from a socio-environmental perspective and explore how environmental problems associated with justice in territories and communities face the dynamics of the complexity of the effects of climate change. They modify the economic and social dynamics that little by little strip communities of their identity and deepen inequality. Selection and recovery of the articles in the bibliographic review, published between 2018 and 2022, used to determine the state of the question were carried out with the search chain integrated by the following keywords: critical environmental education, territory, and social innovation, which make up an analysis carried out using hermeneutic phenomenology from a socio-environmental perspective. The main finding is that critical environmental education in Latin America reveals historical distortions, forms of colonization, and modes of production associated with the exploitation of nature that deepen extreme poverty. On the other hand, the region’s contradictions contribute to understanding the territory and identifying processes of social innovation that favor community life, recognizing new ways of being and living together in Latin America, whose cultural dimension and belonging follow the logic governed by the principles of binomial biodiversity and economy.
