| Abstract | Conservation and development discourses are the two main frameworks in which global debates about how to relate to nature take place. These discourses are considered as opposed; while conservation discourses argue for the maintenance of nature in its pristine state, development discourses seek to justify reengineering spaces to give place to cities, monocultures and roads. However, both discourses have one practical consequence in common: the environmental disfranchisement of indigenous communities. This article uses the case of the Ecuadorian Yasuni Park to show how the implementation of both conservation and development discourses end up disempowering indigenous communities. We use media reports and governmental statements to document the Yasuni case. A critical analysis of the dynamics behind this and other cases allows us to expose the misleading messages, the ironic consequences and the false motives involved in some conservation projects. |
