Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: This article gives rise to a case study, investigative and situated, on the perspectives and perceptions of peasants in Intag, northwest of Ecuador, around three regional birds. Starting from the narratives of the natives, perspectives and positions stand out regarding the domestic chicken, the dusky-legged guan and the andean cock-of-the-rock, three important birds in Intag. The narratives illustrate different relationships that the peasants entertain with each bird according to the value that is linked to the human-bird bond and to the attitude about the rights of birds and humans. From these observations about coexistence, considerations and implications emerge regarding food sovereignty, hunting, habitat loss, ecotourism, the domestic-wild dichotomy, and the rights of Nature.
