Contexto:

El territorio fronterizo compartido por las regiones Ucayali (Perú), Madre de Dios (Perú) y Acre (Brasil) es un espacio geográfico de alta sensibilidad física, social, económica y ambiental dada sus características de localización geográfica: clima tropical, escasa accesibilidad, abundantes recursos naturales, alta diversidad biocultural y aislamiento en relación a los respectivos gobiernos centrales. Este territorio fronterizo incluye zonas, tales como la frontera Acre-Ucayali y Acre-Madre de Dios, ocupadas mayoritariamente por diversas poblaciones indígenas. Estas regiones han visto en los últimos años un incremento en actividades de extracción de recursos y proyectos de infraestructura. Dichas actividades incluyen explotación de madera, …

Implementation of conservation and development in the Amazon borderlands requires effective transboundary coordination.

The lack of updated borderland cartography complicates the planning of development, integration, and conservation projects at a variety of different scales. The Transboundary Geographic Group of Southwestern Amazonia (GTASO) has created a network to continuously exchange geographic information, resulting in a June 2013 workshop and the creation of five transboundary thematic maps of the Amazon regions of Ucayali and …

Transboundary Political Ecology In The Peru-Brazil Borderlands: Mapping Workshops, Geographic Information, And Socio-Environmental Impacts, David S. Salisbury, A. William Flores De Melo, Pedro Tipula Tipula

Geography and the Environment Faculty Publications

Development, resource, and settlement frontiers inspired by national policies and global demand continue to expand into the international boundary lands of Amazonia. National policies promote development and conservation projects on lands already inhabited and managed. Regional governments are increasingly frustrated by the inadequate and outdated geographic information available to solve overlapping claims and improve planning in sensitive border regions. The resulting combination of inappropriate policies, contested resources, and poor geographic information in the borderlands create impacts not only for national, regional, and local landscapes and livelihoods but also foreign relations due to transboundary effects. This article uses a transboundary political …
