MARQUEZ GUERRA, José Francisco. Internal rules of indigenous communities in protected areas of Bolivia: the case of Pilon Lajas. Rev. Derecho [online]. 2016, n.46, pp.71-110. ISSN 0121-8697.  https://doi.org/10.14482/dere.46.811.

For the last few years, the approach of ecoregional planning for conservation, with their strategies, policies, discourses and practices have played a prominent role in the reconfiguration of the space in the lowlands of Bolivia. This is evident in the technical, legal and financial support provided by major NGOs to participative processes for the design, implementation and application of legal indigenous instruments for land and natural resources management. Through an ethnographic study on communities of the Biosphere Reserve and Indigenous Territory Pilón Lajas, this article describes how, in the midst of these processes juridification of indigenous institutions, the conservation actors seek to contribute to compatibility among indigenous regulations and management tools of protected areas. The findings in this operation translation of the conservation's objectives into the local reality, two concepts of legitimacy attributed to the indigenous status are mobilized: ancestrality and territoriality. The results show how, with the use of the first concept, the actors of conservation recreate an ecological identity for indigenous; while with the second concept recreates an indigenous space with vocation for conservation. We discussed whether the instruments resulting from the compatibilization takes into account cosmology and the indigenous way of existence relating to non-human beings and space.
