Abstract:

Resumen: El presente trabajo plantea un análisisantropológico sobre conflictos entre grupos indígenas enBolivia y nuevos poderes políticos de mujeres indígenas.Este análisis pretende investigar por qué las eleccionespresidenciales de 2005 y 2009 un grupo mayoritario deTacanas se posicionaron en contra de Evo Morales auncuando su partido mantiene una política pro-indígena.Los conflictos violentos en Bolivia tienen su origen enfricciones entre las regiones de las tierras bajas y tierrasaltas, y típicamente son representados en la prensa y academiacomo conflictos de la oligarquía blanco/mestizojunto con la clase media reciente (post 1930s) contra losgrupos indígenas. Sin embargo, la tensión existente entregrupos indígenas es generalmente obviada, debido a quela imagen del “indio” fue homogenizada a una sola figurabasada en la relación de explotación proveniente del Estadomestizo hacia el Indio. Enfocando en mujeres Tacana dela Amazonia de Bolivia y los conflictos cotidianos entreellas y los colonos Aymara/Quechua a su territorio, estetrabajo hace tangible la naturaleza de los temas claves queestán en base de estos conflictos históricos.Palabras clave: cultura, indígenas, etnia, raza, tacana,Amazonía, Estado boliviano.“Evo Is Merely Another Colonial”: Inter-ethnical Conflicts and New Political Powers of Indigenous Women in BoliviaAbstract: The present paper focuses on an anthropologicalanalysis of tensions between indigenous groups inBolivia, by asking the question of why it is that in the 2005and 2009 presidential elections many Tacana, native toAmazonia Bolivia, voted against and generally opposedEvo Morales’ candidacy and his pro-indigenous politic.Violent conflicts in Bolivia, which find their root in stronghighland-lowland regionalism, are typically portrayed inthe media and academia as one between the white/criollooligarchies along with the more recent (post 1930s) mestizomiddle-class against indigenous groups. The fact thatthere are strong conflictive sentiments between indigenousgroups in Bolivia has largely been overlooked preciselybecause the image of the Bolivian “indian” has been distilledinto a single generic figure which by definition standsin an exploited relation to the mestizo state. By focussingon Amazonian Tacana women and especially in theirposition of leaders, this paper makes tangible the natureof the conflicts as brought forth in everyday situations ofTacana women and highland Aymara/Quechua migrantsinto their territory.Key Words: identity, ethnicity, race, Tacana, colonos,regionalism, Amazonia, land rights, Bolivian state

Abstract:

Abstract This paper studies four grammatical markers of emotions in Tacana, an Amazonian language from the Takanan family spoken in Northern Bolivia. Two markers express positive emotions, chidi ‘affection’ and ichenu ‘compassion’. The other two express negative emotions: base ‘depreciation 1’ and madha ‘depreciation 2’. The paper also provides a historical-comparative study of similar morphemes in the other Takanan languages (Araona, Cavineña, Ese Ejja and Reyesano). The Tacana affection morpheme is probably reconstructible to a diminutive marker in proto-Takanan. The compassion and two depreciation morphemes are not reconstructible but recent grammaticalizations of lexical items still used in the different Takanan languages. Interestingly, these lexemes do not display any synchronic or diachronic link with the expression of “diminutivization” or “augmentativization”. Therefore, this paper suggests that the morphological expression of emotions should be studied in its own right, and not necessarily as a subtype of the evaluative field of research.

Abstract:

Pilón Lajas Biosphere Reserve and Communal Lands (Pilón Lajas) ranges from 300 m to 1,400 m altitude in the departments of Beni and La Paz, Bolivia. It is located in the Bolivian and Peruvian lower yungas Endemic Bird Area (054) and within one of the regions of highest conservation priority in the Neotropics. Pilón Lajas includes primary evergreen tropical lowland forest, foothill forest, and lower montane forest. Vegetation heterogeneity forms the basis for the high species richness of the area. A population of approximately 600 Chiman, Moseten and Tacana indigenous people live within the reserve. Little has been published regarding the avifauna of Pilón Lajas. Here we present the results of visual observations and tape recordings of 22 ornithological surveys, recording 502 bird species. Serranía Pilón is the most intensively studied and species-rich mountain range with 332 species, 48 of which have been recorded only in this area within Pilón Lajas. We present 26 new departmental records and evidence of breeding for 42 species. The reserve protects three globally Vulnerable and three globally Near Threatened species, four species of High Conservation Priority and 32 of Medium Conservation Priority. Together with Madidi National Park and the adjacent Bahuaja Sonene National Park in south-eastern Peru, Pilón Lajas forms a unique protected area system of more than 3.5 million ha and plays an important role in the establishment of biological corridors along the eastern Andean slope in Bolivia.

Abstract:

Across the Amazon basin, indigenous communities harbor a deep understanding of their surrounding ecosystems. However, the extent to which humans depend on ecosystem services across different ethnic groups and spatial scales remains poorly understood. The purpose of this study is to understand the role of ecological processes in determining the human use of plants in the context of the Tacana people in Madidi National Park (Bolivia). Two different hypothesis are tested: (1) the availability of the species shapes their final use and (2) plant biodiversity influences how the forest is used. The data were compiled in a total of 44 plots (0.1 ha), measuring all woody plants with dbh ≥ 2.5 cm, within five different regions (both submontane and lowland tierra-firme forests). Results showed that (1) the species apparency plays a significant role in the selection of plants for its use and (2) the maximal use of a forest depends on intermediate levels of plant diversity. This study highlights the human capacity to adapt to specific environmental conditions based on the availability and/or biodiversity of the plant resources. Therefore, the integration of indigenous perception in conservation strategies is crucial as the ecology of the Amazonian forests is shaped by the long-lasting effects of its ancient and modern inhabitants.

Abstract:

At the end of the last century northwestern Bolivia was prioritized for further study in a national evaluation of the endangered giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis). In this paper we present a decade of efforts to investigate and systematize data regarding the distribution and relative abundance of giant otters in this wilderness region including 435 distribution points generated from direct observations, confirmed giant otter signs, and interviews with park guards and local people from indigenous communities. We also sampled 1318.6km of river and stream along the Tuichi, Hondo, Arana, Machariapo, Upper Madidi, Enatahua and Heath rivers and their adjacent oxbow lakes in the Madidi National Park, as well as the Undumo and Tequeje rivers in the Tacana Indigenous Territory, and the lower and mid Madidi River and 42.14km of immediately adjacent oxbow lakes. Relative abundance was variable across the region ranging between 0.02 and 0.18 individual/km sampled in streams and rivers, and our data reveals a particularly important giant otter population along the Madidi River much of which remains unprotected. Our data and local reports point towards a possible population recovery within the Madidi and Pilon Lajas protected areas of the region over the last decade. In total we counted 271 animals, identifying 109 individuals through video and photographic throat pattern evidence. We argue that this previously undocumented population is of particular conservation importance due to its connectivity with the well-documented but currently threatened populations of neighboring southeastern Peru. Together northwestern Bolivia and southeastern Peru represent one of the most important conservation strongholds for this species.

Abstract:

In 2013, we conducted a baseline study on the presence, distribution and occupancy of medium- to large-sized mammals in Bolivia along the San Buenaventura-Ixiamas road that runs parallel to the Madidi National Park and Natural Area of Integrated Management boundary and cuts through the Tacana Indigenous Territory and a number of neighboring private properties. Establishing a 3 km buffer on each side of the road, we studied an 865 km2 area divided into 1 km2 cells and sampled a total of 356 of these cells. In each cell, we established one 300 m transect divided into 25 m sections and registered wildlife sign, mainly footprints, from eight wildlife species or species groups. The transects were placed either along streams (75% of cells) or within forest (25% of cells). Using single-season single-species occupancy models we estimated occupancy (ψ) for Tapirus terrestris (ψ = 0.39), Pecari tajacu (ψ = 0.5), Mazama americana (ψ = 0.56), Dasyprocta spp. (ψ = 0.59), Cuniculus paca (ψ = 0.56), Leopardus spp. (ψ = 0.33), and use for Tayassu pecari (ψ = 0.17) and Panthera onca (ψ = 0.11). Occupancy and use results verified community perceived wildlife corridors between Madidi and its area of influence. We identified additional corridors along many streams crossing the San Buenaventura-Ixiamas road. This connectivity is not only important for wildlife, but also from a food security perspective for the indigenous communities that depend on wildlife as an important source of protein. The results will be used to mitigate the impact of road improvements through the identification of priority areas for maintaining connectivity between Madidi and the surrounding landscape.

Abstract:

El espíritu del Tratado de Paz y Amistad de 1929 entre Chile y Perú fue una alianza focalizada establecida para sellar una defensa respecto de las pretensiones bolivianas para anexionarse Tacna y Arica. Este espíritu se refleja en la partición de los territorios disputados, así como en el Artículo 3 del Protocolo Complementario, que establece, de forma críptica, que ni Chile ni Perú podrían ceder esos territorios a Bolivia. La explicación está en los 45 años de conflictos entre Chile y Perú debido a la pretensión boliviana de anexionarse los territorios peruanos que ocupaba Chile tras la Guerra del Pacífico. Sin embargo, tras la cesión de Arica, el fundacional reclamo de Bolivia por anexionarse este puerto se dirigió contra Chile. Tras el Tratado de 1929, la diplomacia boliviana trabajó por romper esta alianza, cuestión que se logró en 1975 con los acuerdos de Charaña.

Abstract:

La presencia tiwanaku en el valle del Caplina es consecuencia del proceso de expansión de Tiwanaku (aprox. 800 – 900 d.C.). Este proceso logró cohesionar los pueblos del sur del Perú y norte de Chile actuales con la zona de Bolivia. El valle del Caplina recibió el influjo del Imperio Tiwanaku, arqueológicamente se describen materiales de fabricación loca. La presencia tiwanaku en el valle del Caplina (Tacna) es considerada una más pues Tacna en su historia ha recibido varias presencias culturales que han dejado su “impronta” en las identidades y en las mentalidades de su población.

I conclude that L. signifer has been recorded in Peru (Puno, Tacna and Moquegua, departments), Bolivia (La Paz, Cochabamba and Oruro departments) and northern Chile (Arica and Parinacota Region). Liolaemus multicolor and L. andinus should be restricted to Argentina.

El análisis comprendió un lapso de 7 meses (enero-julio 1996). Este cuerpo de agua caracterizado por presentar cierta dureza en su composición química no es aprovechado por el poblador andino como un medio de actividad piscícola, lo que de alguna manera podría desarrollar más las fronteras vivas de la Región. Se registraron especies pertenecientes a las divisiones Cyanophyta, Euglenophyta, Dinophyta, Bacillariophyta y Chlorophyta, que se distribuyeron en términos de dominancia de la siguiente manera: 25,82%, 9,68%, 3,2%, 54,42% y 6,45%, respectivamente. Se constituye la más abundante en diversidad de especies, la familia Bacillariophyceae.

Se estudia la estructura fitoplanctónica del Río “Kaño” de la Cordillera Suroccidental del Perú-Tacna a 4,580 m.s.n.m. sobre la base de muestras colectadas mensualmente de enero a julio de 1999, siendo una zona colindante con los países Chile y Bolivia. El muestreo se realizó en la superficie, a media profundidad y del fondo. Se registran cuatro divisiones que corresponde a CYANOPHYTA, EUGLENOPHYTA, BACILLARIOPHYTA Y CHLOROPHYTA, con una clara predominancia de las diatomeas sobre el resto de grupos. Según las características observadas como tamaño pequeño de las células, niveles de organización, formación de cenobios, tipos de colonias y grupos taxonómicos predominantes, se puede deducir que este cuerpo de agua presenta condiciones tróficas para la crianza de peces introducidos, incrementando de esta manera la actividad diaria del poblador de la zona dedicado a la crianza de camélidos sudamericano. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo principal aportar al conocimiento de cómo esta constituido la comunidad del fitoplancton y su influencia en la calidad del agua de este ecosistema acuático alto andino del departamento de Tacna.

En 1975 el gobierno chileno sometió al gobierno del Perú, de acuerdo con el protocolo anexo al tratado de 1929, una fórmula destinada a otorgar salida al mar a Bolivia por un corredor al norte de Anca. Al mismo tiempo, ya en un arreglo bilateral el país del altiplano debía ceder al vecino del litoral un territorio interior de extensión equivalente a la de la zona que hubiera adquirido al establecerse el corredor marítimo antedicho. Como es sabido, la transferencia de la soberanía en cualquiera de las provincias que fueron materia del mencionado pacto 1929 - Arica o Tacna - necesita la aprobación del otro estado signatario. De allí la consulta hecha al Perú. El documento que se reproduce en seguido expresa una opinión personal sobre el caso. Datado setiembre de 1976.

Abstract The impact of community-based ecotourism is contingent upon the community’s involvement in the development and management of activities, as well as their access to and the comprehensiveness of benefits. The ecotourism business owned by the Tacana Indigenous community of San Miguel in the Bolivian Amazon provides a model as to how Indigenous communities can harness social entrepreneurship to address economic, social, and environmental challenges. This article reviews the origins and development of this business, and draws on participant observation research, interviews, surveys, and economic analysis to illustrate the lessons learned and challenges faced. The findings are presented to inform existing and new Indigenous tourism ventures, policy considerations, and future research.

Full text

Abstract:

An extreme precipitation event took place during the second half of January of 2020 in the Atacama Desert. From Tacna, Perú to Iquique, Chile (18-21ºS) rainfall extended for several days producing floods, major damage to infrastructure, and affectation to the population in one of the driest deserts of the world. Analysis of surface-weather stations, sounding, satellite data and reanalysis suggests that the most intense precipitation occurred in precordillera (2,000 to 3,600 m.a.s.l). In a historical context, several weather stations between the pampas and precordillera recorded the highest daily rainfall intensity on record. The analysis of this EP event also suggests that at least four major factors were present to produce record-breaking precipitation in the Atacama Desert: (i) a low-level circulation off-shore Atacama Desert, potentially linked to the southward displacement of the Bolivian High and a high troposphere trough subtropical southeast Pacific Perú, (ii) the advection of humidity through an atmospheric river like structure, trapped to the coast in the front of the low-level cyclonic circulation, leading to increases in precipitable water vapor over the Atacama Desert, (iii) above normal sea surface temperatures that favor moist conditions in the boundary layer and (iv) a reinforced local circulation, where low level winds transport humid wet parcels toward the east, producing terrain-forced ascend at the foothill of the west slope of the Andes Cordillera, triggering precipitation and thunderstorm mostly in precordillera, but also extended to the coast, pampas and Altiplano. Analysis of previous austral summer precipitation days from 2008 to 2020 suggests that this thermo-dynamic mechanism is highly linked to the majority of the EP days in Southern Perú and Northern Chile, becoming in an important configuration to predict future EP events in the Atacama Desert.
