Áreas naturales protegidas de América Latina : controversias políticas e inversión extranjera

Abstract

Pumalín National Park (Chile), Isla del Coco National Park (Costa Rica) and El Jabalí Wildlife Sanctuary (Mexico) are three conservation areas where foreign entrepreneurs have played an essential role. In all of them, the impact of private capital has led to controversies ranging from acceptance from non-governmental environmental organizations concerned with environmental preservation, to criticism of the so called green capitalism that searches to balance the relationship between humans and nature without changing the logics of profit.
