LOS PROCESOS DE LARGA ESCALA Y LA EDUCACIÓN AMBIENTAL. MIRAR AL PASADO PARA PROYECTAR EL FUTURO

Abstract

We discuss the socio-ecosystem relationships in Patagonia from the time of initial settlement to the present. The perspective from a broad time scale reveals some of the particularities that surround the concept of environment. Our analysis allows us to observe very clearly the role that human groups have had, even from early moments, in the formation of what we call environment. Finally, the need to include this kind of approaches to nurture variability and nuances in socio-ecosystem relationships and links is proposed, and the role of education as a transformative proposal for the co-construction of new and lasting links is highlighted.
