| Abstract | The origin and evolution of conservation strategies have caused many of the current protected areas to be managed as if they were unchanging static territorial units over time, while in fact, a deep and rapid transformation takes place. However, the conservation of biodiversity during the Anthropocene era should be more closely linked to development strategies, allowing protected areas to be inserted in the socio-ecological context of their territories. In this regard, a profound innovation in the management of protected areas is required, so as to allow greater and better integration with a wide range of social, political and economic actors present in the territory. The social structure of a territory can be a facilitator or an obstacle for the conservation of biodiversity and its integration with local development strategies. Thus, this research suggests that actor mapping is a significant preliminary phase to initiate the governance processes of protected areas, because it allows to adapt the management of protected areas to its territorial context. Therefore, a case study is presented on the buffer zone of the Alerce Andino National Park (PNAA) and Llanquihue National Reserve (RNLL), located in the temperate rainforest of southern Chile, where actor mapping, based on documentary information and semi-structured interviews, was performed. The results show the existence of 229 actors involved in several aspects of conservation and development in the buffer zone of PNAA and RNLL that act in different geographic scales, have a wide range of interests and significant disparities in their levels of influence. Although the existence of a wide range of actors can be a difficulty for greater integration between protected areas and their surroundings, it is also an opportunity to enhance systems of governance from a socio-ecological perspective, since there is a great potential for information and knowledge exchange, and the formation of multi-level collaboration networks. |
