Los pueblos indígenas frente a la conservación moderna en Costa Rica (1970-2020). Un acercamiento desde la sociología crítica del poder

Indigenous peoples in Costa Rica's Talamanca Range-La Amistad Reserves face complex relationships with modern conservation efforts, marked by both cooperation and conflict. This study reveals that while protected areas like La Amistad National Park aim to preserve biodiversity, they often clash with the cultural and territorial rights of indigenous groups such as Bribri, Cabecar, Brunka, Maleku, and Chorotega. Using a critical sociological approach, the research analyzes primary and secondary documents from archives, including texts by indigenous movements, to synthesize key findings on environmental and political histories (1970-2020). It highlights how power dynamics shape conservation policies, offering insights into the challenges of balancing ecological preservation with indigenous sovereignty.
