This precious liquid is today at the center of an unprecedented struggle that the peoples who live in this region – Maseual, Totonaku and Mestizo -, have waged for more than a decade. This is being done in order to stop a multiplicity of extractive projects: hydroelectric plants, open-pit mining, fracking and electricity transmission lines. All of them threaten to disrupt the complex socio-ecological interdependence webs that are woven around the water flows that cross their territory. In this article, we present the struggles in defense of the territory in Puebla’s North Range based on one of its main articulating elements: water.","PeriodicalId":432178,"journal":{"name":"Ecología Política.

Through an ethnographic study in the Los Petenes biosphere reserve in Campeche, Mexico, the present study registered the revitalization of biocultural elements associated with the melipona. From a decolonial approach, the study concludes that this revitalization promotes cultural identity, and the defense of the territory, complementing conservation efforts. Finally, the study recommends the implementation of an instrument to evaluate the biocultural dimension, with the purpose of contributing to the conservation of protected natural areas.","PeriodicalId":432178,"journal":{"name":"Ecología Política.

Specifically, it analyses the case of the Oxec and Renace hydroelectric complexes in Alta Verapaz. Built on the rivers Cahabón and Ox-eek’, sacred to the Mayan Q’eqchi’ peoples these projects directly undermine the economic and cultural life of communities. By the way they are imposed, they violate the right to consultation of indigenous peoples, destroy the community social fabric, and lead to great conflict materialized in aggression, criminalization and the deepening of sexist relations. Finally, the article raises awareness of the work of indigenous organizations and resistances in defending their rights and territory.","PeriodicalId":432178,"journal":{"name":"Ecología Política.

A (Black) feminist approach to ecocriticism used as a lens to study Tardon’s text manifests the twisted ways Plantation and rum production depend on the gendering of the land and the oppression of female bodies. Tardon brings to the fore an early discussion of the concept known nowadays as the plantationocene. He explores the effect of the colonial past and the impact of Plantation world and its logics, framework on the environment, the body, the economy, and social and human relationships. Thus, in 1946, Tardon also lays bare the foundation for what Malcom Ferdinand calls une écologie décoloniale (a decolonial ecology).","PeriodicalId":432178,"journal":{"name":"Ecología Política.
