Control territorial indígena y gestión turística de áreas silvestres protegidas: experiencia atacameña y Rapa Nui, Chile = Indigenous territorial control and tourism management of protected wild areas: experience atacameña and Rapa Nui, Chile

Chilean indigenous communities have successfully achieved co-administration or autonomous management of key National Parks and Reserves, significantly advancing their rights to self-determination. The study highlights two notable cases: the Atacameño communities' co-management of the Los Flamencos National Reserve in the Salar de Atacama and the Rapanui people's transfer of administration for Rapa Nui National Park. These achievements emerged from a broader process of ethnic mobilization, territorial demands, and legal recognition over three decades. The research compares these experiences, emphasizing their implications for indigenous autonomy and tourism management in protected areas.
