Talk Title
A Protected Area and Household Nexus: Chilean Livelihood Transformations and Environmental Adaptations in the Coquimbo and Atacama Regions.
Dr. Susan Qashu looks at how arid Chilean communities are affected by policies from the Marine Protected Area (MPA) and National Park. Drought and limited access to resources threaten rural fishing and agricultural households throughout Chile. To date, little research has been conducted on how multiple external pressures shape household roles and their livelihood practices. Dr. Qashu has discovered that women and men have diversified their traditional livelihoods as pastoralists, fishers and harvesters to include tourism operators and pragmatic activists.
