| Popis: | This article analyses the complex relationship between humans and nature. In particular, it analyses some of the problems that Protected Natural Areas (PNAs), located within Indigenous lands, present. The article formulates two hypotheses: i) the existence of PNAs in the Lacandon Forest is the outcome of an environmental policy that has shaped the forest as a region for biodiversity conservation; however, this policy generates power relations in the regions where it operates. ii) The relationship between humans and nature, that in this article is examined as the relationship between the indigenous community (Lacandon Community) and the PNAs, exhibits tensions that population size and needs bring forth; power structures are secondary. Based on an analysis of land uses changes and population growth, the article presents fresh evidence that confirms the continued deterioration of forest cover. The article is also based on field work conducted in the Lacandon Forest in the years 2008, 2010 and 2015. |
