Embraced by wide rivers, constant rains and recurrent fogs, Puebla’s North Range and its extremely biodiverse territory represent one of the most important freshwater reserves in Mexico. This precious liquid is today at the center of an unprecedented struggle that the peoples who live in this region – Maseual, Totonaku and Mestizo -, have waged for more than a decade. This is being done in order to stop a multiplicity of extractive projects: hydroelectric plants, open-pit mining, fracking and electricity transmission lines. All of them threaten to disrupt the complex socio-ecological interdependence webs that are woven around the water flows that cross their territory. In this article, we present the struggles in defense of the territory in Puebla’s North Range based on one of its main articulating elements: water.

There have been multiple project initiatives in the Yucatan Peninsula aimed to rescue the melipona bee (Melipona beecheii). Through an ethnographic study in the Los Petenes biosphere reserve in Campeche, Mexico, the present study registered the revitalization of biocultural elements associated with the melipona. From a decolonial approach, the study concludes that this revitalization promotes cultural identity, and the defense of the territory, complementing conservation efforts. Finally, the study recommends the implementation of an instrument to evaluate the biocultural dimension, with the purpose of contributing to the conservation of protected natural areas.

This article discusses the socio-ecological impacts of the privatization and extractivist development model that has been imposed in Guatemala since the 1990s, in the regional context of the Puebla-Panama Plan. Specifically, it analyses the case of the Oxec and Renace hydroelectric complexes in Alta Verapaz. Built on the rivers Cahabón and Ox-eek’, sacred to the Mayan Q’eqchi’ peoples these projects directly undermine the economic and cultural life of communities. By the way they are imposed, they violate the right to consultation of indigenous peoples, destroy the community social fabric, and lead to great conflict materialized in aggression, criminalization and the deepening of sexist relations. Finally, the article raises awareness of the work of indigenous organizations and resistances in defending their rights and territory.

This article explores how the Frente de Pueblos en Defensa de la Tierra, a peasant organization from the metropolitan area of the Valley of Mexico, created a political space to protest against the construction of Mexico City’s New International Airport (NAIM). It describes how a traditional peasant movement managed to renew its political struggle by incorporating a socio-environmental discourse, based on the protection of water sources, the fight against climate change and the conservation of a system of wetlands that sustain the life of all the inhabitants of Mexico’s Central Basin.
本文探讨墨西哥河谷大都市区的农民组织“保卫土地阵线”(Frente de Pueblos en Defensa de la Tierra)如何创造政治空间，抗议兴建墨西哥城新国际机场(NAIM)。它描述了一个传统的农民运动如何通过结合社会环境话语，在保护水源、对抗气候变化和保护维持墨西哥中央盆地所有居民生活的湿地系统的基础上，重新开始其政治斗争。

In the humid Mexican tropics, the State has been promoting an undercovered internal extractivism based on oil revenues to integrate the area into national development through energy matrix projects since the 1950´s. However, on June 22, 2017, Zoque communities managed to suspend the government’s flagship project, the 2.2 oil round that sought to extract 239 million barrels of oil from 10 indigenous municipalities in Chiapas. This article reflects on the political action of Movimiento Indígena del Pueblo Creyente Zoque en Defensa de la Vida y la Tierra (ZODEVITE) that is unfolding under the encyclical of the Laudato Sí of Pope Francis, in northern Chiapas.

Raphaël Tardon’s 1946 short story «La Rédemption de Barbaroux» was published in the wake of the French departmentalization law that changed the status of Martinique from a colony to a French overseas department. A (Black) feminist approach to ecocriticism used as a lens to study Tardon’s text manifests the twisted ways Plantation and rum production depend on the gendering of the land and the oppression of female bodies. Tardon brings to the fore an early discussion of the concept known nowadays as the plantationocene. He explores the effect of the colonial past and the impact of Plantation world and its logics, framework on the environment, the body, the economy, and social and human relationships. Thus, in 1946, Tardon also lays bare the foundation for what Malcom Ferdinand calls une écologie décoloniale (a decolonial ecology).
Raphaël塔顿1946年的短篇小说《La r demption de Barbaroux》出版时，法国的部门化法将马提尼克岛的地位从殖民地改为法国的海外省。以黑人女性主义的生态批评视角来研究塔顿的文本，揭示了种植园和朗姆酒生产依赖于土地性别化和对女性身体的压迫的扭曲方式。塔顿将对现今被称为种植园新世的概念的早期讨论带到了前台。他探讨了殖民历史的影响，种植园世界及其逻辑、框架对环境、身体、经济、社会和人际关系的影响。因此，在1946年，塔顿也为马尔科姆·费迪南德(Malcom Ferdinand)所称的“一个非殖民化的生态”奠定了基础。
