Eingereicht bei Land Use Policy. III IV Summary Tropical deforestation represents one of the most urgent environmental problems of our time; it contributes heavily to climate change, causes immense losses of biodiversity and endangers important environmental services. Bolivia is among the countries with the highest deforestation rates in the world. In light of the current international efforts to reduce deforestation within the framework of REDD, effective and efficient country-specific policy options need to be identified to make progress on the ground. A prerequisite for the prioritization of such policy options is a detailed understanding of the complex processes driving deforestation. Spatial models can contribute valuable information to this end. They can provide quantitative evaluations of hypothesized drivers of deforestation in the past and also generate scenarios that represent probable developments in the future. This study applies spatially explicit regression models as a key instrument for the systematic identification of specific policy options suitable for mitigating the expansion of the main forest-depleting land uses. The entire study is based on Bolivia as a model country. The expansion of mechanized agriculture in the department of Santa Cruz is analyzed as a first case study. Soybean production has converted this area into one of the hotspots of deforestation in the entire Amazon. A logistic regression model covering five time steps (1976, 1986, 1992, 2001 and 2005) identifies the main determinants of the expansion of mechanized agriculture and explores the development of their effects over time. It shows that – while deforestation dynamics have been generally stable over time – there is a tendency of increased penetration into the more humid Amazonian forests in northern Santa Cruz, a development that is also known from Brazil. The model’s results are thoroughly validated, including a comparison between projected and observed deforestation patterns and the investigation of hidden correlations between independent variables. The case study shows that logistic regression is a suitable tool for the purposes of the entire study, provided that careful evaluations and plausibility checks of the model outputs are conducted. In a subsequent analysis covering the entire Bolivian lowlands, three main proximate causes of deforestation are identified: mechanized agriculture was responsible for 54% of deforestation between 1992 and 2004, followed by cattle ranching with 27 %, and small-scale agriculture with 19%. A multinomial logit model is applied to analyze the determinants of each of these proximate causes of deforestation. The results suggest that the expansion of mechanized agriculture occurs mainly in response to good access to export markets, fertile soil and intermediate rainfall conditions. Increases in small-scale agriculture are mainly associated with a humid climate, fertile soil and proximity to local markets. Forest conversion into pastures for cattle ranching occurs mostly irrespective of environmental determinants and can mainly be explained by access to local markets. Land use restrictions, such as protected areas, seem to prevent the expansion of mechanized agriculture but have little impact on the expansion of small-scale agriculture and cattle ranching. An analysis of future deforestation trends reveals possible hotspots of future expansion for each proximate cause and specifically highlights the possible opening of new frontiers of deforestation due to mechanized agriculture in the areas of Puerto Suarez and San Buenaventura. The quantitative insights of the model are substantiated with a qualitative analysis of historical processes that have shaped land use patterns in different zones of the Bolivian lowlands to date. Whereas the quantitative analysis effectively elucidates the spatial patterns of recent agricultural expansion, the interpretation of long-term historic drivers reveals that the timing and quantity of forest conversion are often triggered by political interventions and historical legacies. V In a third analysis, a systematic approach is developed in order to prioritize policy options for effective and efficient deforestation reduction, making use of the model outputs, among other things. Again, Bolivia is taken as a model country. The derivation of policy options is based on analyses of the spatial and economic potential of agricultural expansion, the expected costs of deforestation reduction, and the current legal and political framework in Bolivia. All analyses focus on the three proximate causes of deforestation; and specific policy options are discussed for these types of land use. It is concluded that, although mechanized agriculture caused more than half of all past deforestation in lowland Bolivia, cattle ranching activities should be targeted as a priority since their expansion threatens forests in many different locations and improvements could be achieved at relatively low costs. Enforcing legislation while strengthening institutions on both national and local levels is of utmost importance for the reduction of the expansion of all three land use categories. Specific measures should aim at giving an advantage to more efficient production on existing farms over the expansion into forested areas. In this context, a higher legal fee for deforestation has potential to mitigate forest conversion due to mechanized agriculture and cattle ranching farms, while a removal of subsidies for agro-diesel may specifically reduce the expansion of mechanized agriculture. Such measures could be complemented by a support for higher production efficiency, such as better access to fertilizer and techniques allowing increased cattle stocking densities. The expansion of small-scale agriculture seems to be difficult to control, due to the large number of agents; measures should focus on mitigating the encroachment into areas with land use restrictions, fostering more sustainable and space-efficient agricultural practices, as well as off-farm employment. Models of deforestation are found to be important analytical tools for a better understanding of the processes leading to deforestation; they can render important information for the development of policy options to combat deforestation. Further investigations may explore the possibilities of building more complex scenarios by adding dynamic elements that are contained in some existing land use modeling frameworks. In the outlook of this study, the mapping of opportunity costs of forest conservation is shortly introduced as a promising possibility of generating scenarios based non-spatial factors such as prices of agricultural goods. It is however concluded that, for practical applications, it seems reasonable to keep the transparency of models as high as possible in order to allow for constant plausibility checks of the model outputs. The study concludes that more research is needed to identify and evaluate suitable policy options to reduce deforestation on the ground. In the discussion on REDD, only little attention seems to be given to the development of mitigation strategies for large forest clearings driven by corporate agents and large cattle farms. This may be due to a certain prevalence of traditional approaches to biodiversity conservation within selected conservation areas and an unjustified focus on smallholders. Also the strong focus on market-based solutions may be questionable; according to this study it would be more appropriate to directly support the governments of tropical countries to implement the most promising measures. It may also be important to target existing markets that drive deforestation, i.e., global markets for beef, soybean, palm oil and tropical timber stemming from clear-cuts.

  • Camba Y Paico: La Integración De Los Indígenas Del Oriente Boliviano
    CAMBA Y PAICO: LA INTEGRACIÓN DE LOS INDÍGENAS DEL ORIENTE BOLIVIANO JÜRGEN RIESTER "Camba" es, ante todo, el término general con que los bolivia- nos del Altiplano designan a todos los habitantes de la llanura, n¡n establecer distinción entre blancos, mestizos o indios. Sin embargo, los habitantes de Santa Cruz de la Sierra (capital del departamento de Santa Cruz, situado en la llanura) se autodemoninan "cruze- fios", reservando el término "camba" tanto para los indios y mesti- zos que viven en Santa Cruz de la Sierra y sus alredederos, como para toda la población rural del extenso departamento, sea que se trate de blancos, mestizos o indios. La situación es diferente en la región habitada por los indios chiquitanos, situada en las provincias Ñuflo de Chávez, Velasco y Chiquitos que integran el departamento antes mencionado. La po- blación chiquitana oscila entre 35.000 y 38000 habitantes, mientras que el total de blancos, de la clase alta, se eleva solamente a 2.500 personus. Para estos últimos, el término "camba" carece de matiz negativo y, en muchos casos, lo emplean incluso como sinónimo de "gente buena". En la población camba pueden distinguirse dos clases que, si bien a otros efectos no guardan vinculación entre sí, represer'nn una unidad ante las autoridades y los indígenas. Esta distinción se basa en la posición económica y en la pureza del linaje, es decir, la antigüedad como integrante de la clase alta blanca. Si un "blanco" de la clase alta contrae matrimonio con una in- dígena, su propia posición social no varía, aunque los demás reprue- ben dicha unión ("pura vergüenza para la sociedad alta y buena").

    Becoming Chiquitano: Crafting Identities in the Broader Paraguayan River Basin Justin B. Blanton A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Cynthia Radding John Chasteen Kathryn Burns Kathleen DuVal Brandon Bayne 1 Abstract __________________________________________________________________ Justin B. Blanton: Becoming Chiquitano: Crafting Identities in the Broader Paraguayan River Basin (Under the direction of Cynthia Radding) This project poses two basic conceptual problems: How do ethnic and communal identities emerge and how are their meanings expressed by diverse groups of historical actors? To address these problems, my research focuses on indigenous communities who inhabited Catholic missions in the colonial Spanish province of Chiquitos located in portions of present- day southeastern Bolivia and southwestern Brazil. It provides a deeper understanding of the ways in which these native peoples bestowed meaning upon the public dimensions of their reconstituted communities and transformed, articulated, maintained, and defended ethnic, linguistic and communal identities. My full temporal scope extends from the late sixteenth century through the Jesuit mission regime (1691-1767) and into the early nineteenth century, but I place special emphasis on post-Jesuit historical processes. By focusing on these understudied years, I reveal how native resistance to late eighteenth and early nineteenth century imperial developments impacted the evolution of identities that began to emerge a century earlier. During this period of mission secularization, indigenous peoples continually mediated administrative and sociocultural changes to construct and articulate ethnolinguistic and communal identities.

    Chiquitano and the State Negotiating Identities and Indigenous Territories in Bolivia Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Katinka Weber December 2010 Abstract Chiquitano and the State: Negotiating Identities and Indigenous Territories in Bolivia 2010 by Katinka Weber This thesis analyses how Chiquitano people engage with the state and to what effect, based on ethnographic fieldwork carried out between September 2006 and August 2007 in the Bolivian Concepción, San Javier and Lomerío municipalities, in the eastern Bolivian lowlands. It focuses on the most contentious areas of Chiquitano- state relations, namely the emergence of the Chiquitano social movement, the struggle for territory and territorial autonomy and participation in the local state bureaucracy. While Chiquitano interact with the state in order to protect their socio- cultural communal reproduction, this thesis finds that in many ways the Chiquitano organisation acts as part of the state and replicates its neo-liberal multicultural rhetoric. The state remains the main shaper of forms of political engagement and collective identification (such as indigeneity), resonating with Fried’s (1967) and Scott’s (1998) notions that the state implies some sort of process, one of ‘restructuring’ and ‘making legible’. Consequently, this thesis argues that from the Chiquitano perspective, the election of Bolivia’s first indigenous president in 2005 and his radical state reform project through the 2006-2007 Constituent Assembly, has not fundamentally transformed previous patterns of indigenous-state engagement. It posits that the more successful resistance continues to reside, perhaps more subtly, in comunidades ’ socio-cultural relations.

Las poblaciones ayoreo ocupan los territorios que se extienden desde el este de Santa Cruz de la Sierra, en Bolivia, hasta el norte paraguayo. Se constatan 4000 hablantes en Bolivia y 2600 en Paraguay, aproximadamente; la vitalidad de la lengua es alta (Fabre 2007). El ayoreo es una lengua fusional. Presenta un alineamiento nominativo- acusativo que se evidencia en la marcación verbal. En términos generales muestra un orden sintáctico SVO. En lo referente a clases de palabras, distingue morfológicamente entre verbos y nombres, y se observan adverbios y adposiciones de gran productividad (Bertinetto 2009). En el presente artículo se propone sistematizar la historia de los distintos contactos con el pueblo ayoreo desde las primeras noticias de las que se tiene conocimiento hasta la actualidad. A su vez, se intentará caracterizar el perfil tipológico de la lengua ayoreo haciendo especial énfasis en el nivel sintáctico y, en especial, en su estructura clausal. Palabras clave: ayoreo, zamuco, tipología, cláusula 1 El presente trabajo se realizó en el marco de una estancia de investigación en la Universidad de Granada, España, bajo la dirección del Profesor Dr. Juan de Dios Luque Durán.
