Transformaciones Territoriales y Monoproducción Silvícola en el “Alto Paraná” Argentino (1960-2018)

El presente estudio tiene como objeto de análisis a la región del Alto Paraná en la provincia argentina de Misiones, una de las regiones donde se concentra fuertemente la actividad silvícola nacional. En razón de ello, este trabajo analiza las transformaciones socioambientales asociadas a la expansión silvícola durante las últimas décadas en Misiones la cual se enmarca en un modelo monoproductor sujeto a fuertes externalidades socioambientales y una significante reducción de la biodiversidad. Para la elaboración del presente se basó en otras investigaciones y estudios académicos referidos a los conflictos vinculados a la monoproducción forestal y los cambios en la estructura agraria regional, como también del análisis de datos y estadísticas oficiales. La identificación de las transformaciones productivas, económicas, sociales y biofísicas que ha sufrido el área en estudio confirma la importancia de profundizar en el análisis de las externalidades socioambientales originadas por el modelo silvícola en expansión. Si bien la silvicultura podría ser una actividad productiva fundamental para la preservación de la biodiversidad y como motor socioeconómico local, es preciso optimizar el modelo implantado a fin de lograr un manejo justo y seguro que contribuya a la mitigación de sus impactos negativos.El presente estudio tiene como objeto de análisis a la región del Alto Paraná en la provincia argentina de Misiones, una de las regiones donde se concentra fuertemente la actividad silvícola nacional.

Addressing climate change with behavioral science: a global intervention tournament in 63 countries

Effectively reducing climate change requires marked, global behavior change. However, it is unclear which strategies are most likely to motivate people to change their climate beliefs and behaviors. Here, we tested 11 expert-crowdsourced interventions on four climate mitigation outcomes: beliefs, policy support, information sharing intention, and an effortful tree-planting behavioral task. Across 59,440 participants from 63 countries, the interventions’ effectiveness was small, largely limited to nonclimate skeptics, and differed across outcomes: Beliefs were strengthened mostly by decreasing psychological distance (by 2.3%), policy support by writing a letter to a future-generation member (2.6%), information sharing by negative emotion induction (12.1%), and no intervention increased the more effortful behavior—several interventions even reduced tree planting. Last, the effects of each intervention differed depending on people’s initial climate beliefs. These findings suggest that the impact of behavioral climate interventions varies across audiences and target behaviors

The environment as a transversal axis in the rural question

Los ambientes rurales son espacios fundamentales en la interacción que tienen lugar entre las actividades humanas y el medio ambiente y representa además, ámbitos económicos fundamentales donde se definen una buena parte de los desafíos ambientales globales. Si miramos con atención los 17 Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) de la Agenda 2030, veremos que las zonas rurales son centrales a la hora de alcanzar esos estándares fundamentales. Para decirlo más precisamente: casi ocho de cada diez de sus indicadores, están íntimamente vinculados a lo que suceda con las sociedades rurales y dos de cada diez exclusivamente se pueden alcanzar en y con el campo. A su vez los medios de vida del sector rural dependen de un ambiente saludable, pero tienen un amplio impacto en los ecosistemas naturales. Preservar ambos, es indispensable para obtener un “desarrollo sostenible”, e impone desde ya mantener un muy complejo balance entre las necesidades económicas de corto y mediano plazo y los equilibrios socioambientales que apuntan a generar un proceso de equidad intergeneracional.Rural environments are fundamental spaces in the interaction that take place between human activities and the environment and also represent fundamental economic areas where a good part of global environmental challenges are defined. If we look closely at the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda, we will see that rural areas are central to achieving these fundamental standards. To put it more precisely: almost eight out of ten of its indicators are closely linked to what happens in rural societies and two out of ten can only be achieved in and with the countryside. In turn, the livelihoods of the rural sector depend on a healthy environment, but they have a broad impact on natural ecosystems. Preserving both is essential to obtain “sustainable development”, and it already requires maintaining a very complex balance between short and medium-term economic needs and socio-environmental balances that aim to generate a process of intergenerational equity.Fil: Lagomarsino, Maria Clara.
