Perspectives on interactions between communities and conservation area managers in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru: An analysis using Q methodology

Year: 2026

Type: book

Abstract: An analysis using Q methodology Key messages• Multiple territorial and protected area initiatives coexist in the Andean-Amazon region, each with different visions of the role of rights-based approaches in their management and sustainability.• The Q methodology made it possible to compare the perspectives of 100 specialists from Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru on the relationships between Indigenous Peoples, local and Afro-descendant communities, and conservation area managers.• Broad consensus exists in rejecting conservation models that focus exclusively on biophysical protection or that are solely state-led, and in recognizing women's representation and participation as a key element.• Territorial rights and free, prior and informed consent emerge as the main differences between stakeholders; however, in Bolivia there is greater convergence on respect for the rights of Indigenous Peoples.
