Indigenous peoples are key actors for environmental management because they hold valuable indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) for the sustainable stewardship of nature. However, the consideration of ILK in environmental management is still limited. We explore how environmental government institutions in Colombia have involved indigenous communities in 2212 environmental management projects between 2004 and 2015. Only 1% of these projects involved indigenous peoples as main actors. We applied the Leverage Points (LP) perspective in a content analysis to identify 'where' and 'how' these projects promote transformative changes within indigenous territories. Moreover, we investigated the interactions between projects targeting shallow and deep LP using cluster analysis. Our results show that these projects mainly seek to improve the well-being of indigenous peoples and consider ILK in their interventions, which suggests changes in deep LP. Additionally, these projects usually combined interventions targeting both shallow and deep LP while using ILK to improve environmental management practices (e.g., Life Plans) and developing participatory land-use planning in the indigenous territories. We argue that the involvement of ILK in environmental management can lead to stronger human-nature connectedness and thus to more successful conservation policies. However, this involvement is still at an early stage in Colombia.

“…En el presente estudio, se alude brevemente a la cosmovisión como el total de perspectivas, conceptualizaciones y valorizaciones que determinan las visiones del mundo y las relaciones (Magni, 2017), enfoque central en cualquier estudio de percepción. De hecho, la figura de la Pachamama como otros supuestos epistemológicos u ontológicos andinos producen fricciones con la retórica aceptada y nutren el diálogo necesario para el discurso del desarrollo internacional (Harris, 2017): la interrelación entre percepción académica y no académica surge de las consideraciones anteriores.…”

El cambio climático y el desarrollo sostenible son conceptos bien conocidos, pero sus percepciones pueden variar considerablemente entre comunidades académicas y no académicas en contextos interculturales. La presente investigación examina las relaciones e interrelaciones entre cambio climático y desarrollo sostenible a través de la evaluación comparativa de una comunidad suburbana y una universidad local cercana dentro de los Andes centrales (Cusco, sur del Perú). El objetivo principal es analizar los diferentes puntos de vista de ambas comunidades determinados por contextos socioculturales e impactos del cambio climático específicos. Un análisis temático que apunta a un conjunto diverso de características climáticas y socioeconómicas permite identificar ocho afirmaciones y veinte temas relacionados con el cambio climático y el desarrollo sostenible. Los resultados de ambos grupos revelan una fuerte diversidad de cosmovisión, evidenciada por el hecho de que la comunidad andina está más orientada hacia problemas —enfocando los aspectos negativos del cambio climático— mientras que la comunidad académica apunta a soluciones colectivas. Sin embargo, ambos grupos de entrevistados también comparten percepciones comunes, en particular sobre el manejo de los residuos sólidos. El análisis comparativo de las percepciones académicas y no académicas peruanas en Cusco ofrece una mirada transversal sobre los impactos locales del desarrollo nacional y global. Además, este estudio proporciona conocimientos transferibles para abordar la sostenibilidad a largo plazo de los países de bajos y medianos ingresos, hacia la transformación de ciudades y comunidades inclusivas y más resilientes como parte del camino hacia los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible.

“…The work of de la Cadena (2010, 2015) has been influential in this respect by challenging me to co-labour with informants as "an experiment in creating new understanding and knowledge practices" (Harris, 2017a, p.377). Research conducted by Harris (2017aHarris ( , 2017b has also been critical by providing novel perspectives on the interaction of knowledges and how these can be expressed. To make sense of these new ontologies, Ingold's (2000) dwelling framework and landscape ethnoecology methodological approaches (Johnson and Hunn, 2010) proved profound.…”

The embodied work of this document does little to account for and appreciate the participation and support from so many. As a resident of Bhutan from 2013-2019 I had the opportunity to live and work with numerous individuals who had a part in my work as an academic. These individuals ranged from work colleagues to fellow researchers, community members and students. The Royal Thimphu College was the primary facilitator of these relationships as they hired me full-time as a faculty member in their Environmental Studies/Management department. They imparted trust and allowed me to conduct research through the department. In particular, the Academic Dean, Shiva Raj Bhattarai, and the acting Dean of International Relations, Samir Patel, played pivotal roles in offering advice and guidance. During my time at the college I had the opportunity to collaborate with a number of student researchers. These students volunteered their time to enrol in research training programs, conduct fieldwork, and translate & transcribe interviews. Without them, much of the data gathered in this research would not have been possible. Particular students that I would like to thank include
