Abstract

Through a micro-political ecology approach, this work studies the environmental justice discourses of the Mapuche leaders and activists regarding the potential co-management of Villarrica National Park (VNP), Chile using a qualitative methodological approach and critical discourse analysis. Our main findings show that three co-management Mapuche positions exist among three different groups that derive from their respective territorialities about the park and their conceptions of Environmental Justice. One group gives more importance to participation and distribution than recognition as justice dimensions, whereas for the other two recognition is almost as relevant as participation and distribution. According to most of the Mapuche leaders, communities do not derive benefit from the national park, while the negative cost of establishing this protected area was highlighted by some of them. The article concludes by examining key factors that could affect a potential co-management of VNP and some implications.
