“…Se trata de un ecosistema único que es, además, el segundo bosque más grande de Sudamérica después del Amazonas y, por consiguiente, la mayor reserva de carbono extratropical del hemisferio sur (Grau, Gasparri y Aide, 2005). Al mismo tiempo, el Gran Chaco experimenta una de las tasas de deforestación más altas del mundo (Hansen et al, 2013;Gómez Lende, 2019;Vallejos et al, 2015), a causa, principalmente, de la expansión agropecuaria (Baumann et al, 2017;Paolasso, Krapovickas y Gasparri, 2012), en particular, la expansión del cultivo de soja y de la cría de ganado Editado por R.

This note analyses the issue of deforestation in the Gran Chaco from an environmental justice perspective. The main purpose of the article is to understand the prevailing perceptions on the issue of deforestation and to assess possible ways forward. For this purpose, first the results of qualitative interviews were analysed through the use of Q method, which allows classifying local perceptions on deforestation in the Chaco Salteño through the use of factor analysis. This resulted in three factors (i.e. perceptions), called “Development”, “Family Agriculture” and “Subsistence”, which were subsequently used to inform future land-use scenarios. Secondly, a social multi-criteria evaluation was deployed to rank these possible land-use scenarios according to sustainability and environmental justice criteria. The results show that the “Subsistence” and “Family Agriculture” scenarios are the most environmentally just as well as the most sustainable. The “Development” scenario, together with the “status quo” scenario, which was added on an ad-hoc basis, are the worst. The article concludes by highlighting the importance of taking justice into account when considering land use issues, especially when indigenous peoples and other marginalized actors are involved.

50 Years World Heritage Convention: Shared Responsibility – Conflict &Amp; Reconciliation

This article aims to address conflictive projects and their pathways of resolution in the field of land use and territorial and natural resource management in Latin America in relation to one of the protected areas of Argentinean Patagonia, Los Alerces National Park (PNLA), inscribed by UNESCO as a Natural World Heritage Site in 2017. I argue that the changes driven by the commodity boom (2000–2014), i.e., the development of extractive activities, deforestation and the expansion of grain and mineral exports, have had and continue to have a high environmental impact. Since the 2000s, the continent has experienced a series of protests that brought to light the unease caused by projects based on the development of large-scale extractive activities, which impacted legislation and reinforced the implementation of restrictive regulations for territorial management and land use, as seen from the nomination of the PNLA as a Natural World Heritage Site. The article shows that the legislative changes, as well as requirements of the PNLA inscription, provide fundamental legal support to the formulation, management and technical implementation of a new agro-silvo-pastoral culture capable of reconciling the conservation of scenic value (vii), biodiversity (x) and sustainability in protected areas. This proposal opens up the possibility of expanding the protected areas within the framework of the Andean-North Patagonian Biosphere Reserve.
