Los bosques tropicales albergan la mayor diversidad genética del mundo (Cincotta et al., 2000). Sin embargo, estos ecosistemas están siendo drásticamente transformados especialmente por deforestación y sobrexplotación de especies de importancia comercial. En México, 80 % de los recursos forestales están en manos de ejidos y comunidades (White y Martín 2002), lo que es una fortaleza por lo que el aprovechamiento forestal sustentable resulta en beneficios directos para los pobladores de dichas áreas forestales.
The purpose of this report is to examine development trends in the Southern Gobi Region (SGR) as they affect livestock and wildlife. It provides an overview of the environment and natural resources of the region, discusses existing relationships and interactions among humans, livestock, large herbivore wildlife, and the natural resources on which they are dependent. It then explores the impact that economic development of the region is likely to have if that development does not consider the needs of the current users.
This article is interested in the interface between internationally supported peace operations and local approaches to peace that may draw on traditional, indigenous and customary practice. It argues that peace (and security, development and reconstruction) in societies emerging from violent conflict tends to be a hybrid between the external and the local. The article conceptualizes how this hybrid or composite peace is constructed and maintained. It proposes a four-part conceptual model to help visualize the interplay that leads to hybridized forms of peace.

Una lucha que tiene como antecedente la larga tensión existente hasta hoy entre gobiernos y población sobre el uso y explotación de los recursos naturales. Y que hoy muestra que el fondo no son los recursos naturales sino los derechos sobre ellos y sobre otros aspectos que encierra el concepto de Estado Plurinacional que, al parecer, por lo menos en Ecuador, deja aún mucha tela para cortar.
