“…La compra de tierras por parte de organizaciones no gubernamentales para actividades de conservación es una práctica que se ha documentado en varios países, como Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, Brasil y México, entre otros (ARNPG et al, 2003;Chacón, 2008). Es un tema que debe analizarse de manera minuciosa, en cuanto a sus impactos ambientales y sociales, pues en algunos casos los dueños de esas tierras son despojados de su control, que terminan siendo empleados de iniciativas privadas (Silveira-Junior et al, 2021).…”

[Introducción]: En México, la Ley General de Equilibrio Ecológico y Protección al Ambiente (LGEEPA) incluye instrumentos que promueven la participación social en la conservación de tierras, mediante mecanismos voluntarios. Las áreas destinadas voluntariamente a la conservación (ADVC) son una modalidad de área natural protegida de competencia federal, que integra una heterogénea participación social. Hasta abril del 2022 existen 374 ADVC vigentes, que conservan una superficie total de 606 132.11 hectáreas certificadas. [Objetivo]: En este artículo se analizan los alcances y desafíos que presenta la implementación de las ADVC, en una contextualización internacional de las estrategias voluntarias de conservación de tierras. [Metodología]: Aplicamos un proceso de triangulación de la información para un análisis cualitativo, que integró entrevistas estructuradas, revisión de archivos oficiales y revisión bibliográfica. [Resultados]: Se obtuvieron ocho categorías temáticas de análisis: antecedentes de la certificación, superficie certificada, tenencia de la tierra, plazos de certificación, tipos de ecosistemas, administración y operación, proceso de certificación, gestión compartida, amenazas y estrategias. [Conclusiones]: Existe una heterogeneidad de experiencias dentro de la gestión de ADVC que está determinada por los tipos de tenencia de la tierra, las capacidades locales de gestión, la vinculación con las organizaciones de sujetos propietarios, los tipos de gobernanza y los intereses que llevaron al establecimiento de las ADVC. Se identificaron 10 aspectos clave del estado actual de estas reservas, útiles para comprender las experiencias de conservación voluntaria que puede contribuir para encauzar procesos de evaluación de la efectividad de su manejo.

“…Solutions may not have occurred quickly enough or not gone sufficiently far. At the same time that PCAs are demanded for new functions, their governance dynamics and management have not yet sufficiently responded to the expectations of the plurality of stakeholders around them (Decree 7747/2012, Brazil; [7,8,22,23,[28][29][30]).…”

Protected and conserved areas (PCAs) are increasingly recognized as essential tools for their effectiveness in conservation and the benefits they provide. However, their challenges are still significant. The concepts, legislation, and governance surrounding PCAs are the results of social contexts. Due to the evolution of scientific knowledge, human rights, and diversified demands, new approaches are necessary to fulfill their functions. To better understand the context and possibilities, a study group was established to evaluate the current research, exchange experiences, guide dialogues, and identify lessons from experiences. The core of the experiences and cases considered and the reflections developed focused on the Brazilian context. This article analyzes the collected information and reflections related to several themes associated with challenges. The results reinforce the importance of PCAs but warn about the limitations of current conservation strategies to respond to social actors’ expectations, the needs of the vulnerable social groups, and evolving demands. The complexity of PCA systems is evident in view of the multiplicity of interests, potential contributions, and possibilities for participatory arrangements. There is a need to improve management and governance conceptions to promote the reconnection between society and nature. Therefore, the concept of collaborative conservation is proposed as an instrumental approach to advance towards inclusive and effective conservation strategies.

“…In this way, the assessment of environmental perception can be useful to verify the relationship between the consumer public and the Amazon region, aiming at the products that originate from there (Ozdemir, 2010;Bennett, 2016). The most common ways to assess a group's environmental perception include disseminating questionnaires, conducting interviews and focus groups, among other ways (Ozdemir, 2010;Tsai et al, 2013;Silveira-Junior;.…”

Background:The Amazon rainforest plays an essential role in sheltering global biodiversity and providing essential ecosystem services. However, the region has been threatened by increased rates of deforestation and degradation, which is often reported as the failure of the Brazilian conservation policy that could affect the image of agriculture Brazilian products abroad. In this sense, here we aimed to evaluate the foreign environmental perception of the region using data from social medias, to assess which are the main terms related to the region, how their importance varies over time and whether this perception tends to be more negative or positive. For this, we used data from posts made on Twitter® involving the term "Amazon rainforest" over 18 weeks using a data mining process. From these posts, we extracted the text, which went through steps of cleaning and organization, as well as crossing with additional databases (such as the sentiment dictionary). From the final data set, we first evaluated which are the main terms present in these posts and how their importance varied in the evaluated period. Next, we assess whether the terms cited are mainly negative or positive and how this sentiment varied over the monitoring period. Results:We found that the main terms are related to the environmental context such as "carbon", "deforestation" and "fire" and that there is a relationship between their importance and the occurrence of fires in the region, which is positive with a temporal lag. In addition, we also found that the posts are, on average, composed of 68.47% of negative terms and that this sentiment predominates throughout the entire time series, being higher during the fire peaks in the region. Conclusion:Our results indicate that the environmental perception of the region presented in the posts in Twitter® is mainly negative, due to the degradation and fires observed over the last few years. We also discuss limitations of the approach and establish perspectives for future work.
