Abstract

Patagonia-Aysén, in recent years, has become the best setting for territories associated with pristine nature, of invaluable purity, and from where a kind of ecological reserve for the world is conceived. In that new culture-nature relationship, forces become invisible that are ultimately disputes over how to relate to what is understood by “nature.” We refer to the dispute between two types of ecologies conceived as conceptions and practices with nature: colonist ecologies and deep ecologies. This paper analyzes the transformations that have taken place since his agency in the Chacabuco Valley of the Baker River Valley basin, Patagonia-Aysén. On the one hand, one related to the changes produced by the colonization developed since the end of the 19th century, and another began at the end of the 20th century, which promotes the restoration of protected nature in search of reversing the landscape that created the livestock economy during the process of colonization and productive exploitation. © (2023), (Universidad de Tarapaca).
