A Different Lens on Conservation
Investigative ecological journalism often falls into the trap of 'gist' reporting – summarising conflict without examining the underlying structural and financial mechanisms. This collection of translations from Mongabay moves against that current by preserving the technical precision of territorial disputes.
Key Reports
- Institutional Meltdown (Easter Island): Looking at the fiscal rift in park management, where the transition from state to local oversight revealed deep-seated accounting enclosures.
- The Regulatory Gap (Peru): Highlighting the linguistic and legal barriers preventing the establishment of effective marine sanctuaries.
- Community Agency (Madagascar): Examining how community groups operate within high-stakes mining zones to protect endangered biodiversity, prioritising local knowledge over external technical imposition.
Why This Matters
For the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE), these translations provide a technical blueprint for territorial sovereignty. By maintaining structural fidelity in these texts, we recover the specific terminological distinctions – such as that between 'management' and 'governance' – that determine whether a conservation project empowers or encloses a community.
