DISTRIBUTION, USE AND CULTURAL MEANINGS OF CIPRÉS DE LAS GUAITECAS IN THE VICINITY OF CALETA TORTEL, CHILE By KYLA SARA ZARET B.A., Reed College, Portland, OR, 2002 Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Resource Conservation, International Conservation and Development Option The University of Montana Missoula, MT August 2011 Approved by: Sandy Ross, Associate Dean of The Graduate School Graduate School Dr. Keith Bosak, Chair Department of Society and Conservation Dr. Steve Siebert Department of Forest Management Dr. Dan Spencer Department of Environmental Studies Zaret, Kyla, M.S., Summer 2011 Resource Conservation Distribution, Use and Cultural Meanings of Ciprés de Las Guaitecas in the Vicinity of Caleta Tortel, Chile Chairperson: Dr. Keith Bosak This study examined the changing roles of ciprés de las Guaitecas (Pilgerodendron uviferum) in the lives and livelihoods of Tortel community members. A political ecology framework built on concepts of power, scale and social construction was used to problematize the availability of the tree as a resource by revealing the multiple, contrasting perspectives of different socio-political actors. National and international policy documents were analyzed in order to uncover the discourses that drive decision-making at those scales. Participant observation and semi- structured interviews were conducted to explore local people’s knowledge, perceptions and opinions regarding the difficulties they face in accessing and utilizing ciprés, as well as the significance of the tree species to their lives/livelihoods. Ultimately, an examination of people’s relationships to ciprés and their interests in the continuation of those relationships speaks to whether and how ciprés can or should remain an important part of their lives/livelihoods. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project was made possible by a number of people and institutions that I would like to recognize as follows. First, my sincerest thanks to Dr. Keith Bosak, my committee chair, for his guidance and generous support throughout the thesis process. I would also like to thank my committee members, Dr. Steve Siebert and Dr. Dan Spencer for their insightful comments on this manuscript. My research was funded in part by the Melipal Fellowship offered by Dr. Paul Alaback and Dr. Carol Brewer, a grant for student projects from the Center for the Investigation of Patagonian Ecosystems (CIEP), and thesis project support from the Office of the Provost at the University of Montana. Interview transcriptions were completed by Nancy Moore and Penelope Baquero, who I would like to thank for their work and our inspiring conversations about life and times in southern Chile. My experiences in Aysén would not have been so rewarding without the assistance and camaraderie of numerous individuals. Many thanks to Brian Reid for all of his support, but especially for turning me on to peatlands; to Sunny D. for being a gal’s best field partner; to JT Thomas for helping me laugh as the axe fell; to Pedro for his friendship and invaluable help with this study; to Jose Luis for our fieldtrips and many discussions about local land management; to Don Julio for ensuring that I traveled safely; to Maria for taking this gringita into her home; and to the people of Tortel who shared with me their personal histories and insights into the relationships between ciprés and their community. I would also like to thank my friends and familia for their support. Thanks to my parents, David and Shari Zaret, and sister, Jenny Zaret, for always being there despite my tendency to venture to the ends of the earth; to those who helped me through my undergraduate thesis and offered council during this second round: Alyx, Buhle, and Sarah; to those who kept me going during crunch time: Natalie, Lorie and Aaron; and to my bullpen mates, Angie and JT, for our conversations about personal ambitions in and out of the ivory tower, but also for those crucial moments of laughter. Finally, this thesis is dedicated in loving memory to my grandparents Esther Schwartz Zaret and Melvin Zaret whose lifelong curiosity and dedication to their own projects continue to be an inspiration. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT .................................................................................................................................... ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ........................................................................................................... iii LIST OF FIGURES .........................................................................................................................v LIST OF TABLES ...........................................................................................................................v CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION ...................................................................................................1 CHAPTER 2: BACKGROUND & HISTORICAL PRECEDENTS ..............................................7 Chile’s Native Forests ..................................................................................................................7 Chile’s History of Forest Management ......................................................................................12 Locating Tortel ...........................................................................................................................22 CHAPTER 3: LITERATURE REVIEW ......................................................................................25 A Political Ecology Lens: Power, Scale and Social Construction ............................................26 Political Ecology Perspectives: Degradation and Marginalization, Conservation and Control ...........................................................................................................33 CHAPTER 4: METHODS ............................................................................................................40 Normative Commitments ...........................................................................................................40 Data Collection and Analysis .....................................................................................................43 Biophysical Context ..............................................................................................................48 Livelihood Context ................................................................................................................50 National/International Management Context .........................................................................59 A Note Regarding Project Scope and Limitations .....................................................................61 CHAPTER 5: RESULTS .............................................................................................................62 Biophysical Context ...................................................................................................................63 Ground-truthing Observations ...............................................................................................63 Local/Practical Ecological Knowledge .................................................................................66 Qualitative Synthesis .............................................................................................................70 Livelihood Context .....................................................................................................................75 Material Role of Ciprés .........................................................................................................78 Socio-cultural Role of Ciprés .................................................................................................84 Changing Role of Ciprés .......................................................................................................95 National/International Management Context ..........................................................................110 International ..........................................................................................................................111 National ...............................................................................................................................115 A Politicized Species ...........................................................................................................125 CHAPTER 6: DISCUSSION & CONCLUSIONS ...................................................................131

  • Migración Interna En La Región De Aysén Del General Carlos Ibáñez Del Campo CENSO DE POBLACIÓN Y VIVIENDA 2017
    Migración Interna en la Región de Aysén del General Carlos Ibáñez del Campo CENSO DE POBLACIÓN Y VIVIENDA 2017 DIRECCIÓN REGIONAL DE AYSÉN INSTITUTO NACIONAL DE ESTADÍSTICAS Diciembre / 2020 Presentación La migración interna es un fenómeno que adquiere relevancia al analizar la distribución de la población en un territorio determinado. Los movimientos migratorios pueden tener implicancias demográficas, sociales, culturales y económicas para las personas, comunidades y hogares, tanto en los lugares de origen como en el destino de los migrantes. Al mismo tiempo, la migración interna es un componente que tiene cada vez más peso en la dinámica del crecimiento poblacional a niveles subnacionales, sobre todo a un nivel comunal, además de ser un factor importante en la expansión y diversificación de las principales ciudades del país. La relevancia de los censos de población para el estudio de la migración interna es fundamental, puesto que actualmente es el único instrumento que permite abordar este fenómeno demográfico a escalas inferiores a la regional. A principios del año 2020, el Subdepartamento de Demografía del Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas (INE), publicó el documento “Migración Interna en Chile, Censo de Población y Vivienda 2017” (INE, 2020), que aborda las principales tendencias de la migración interna del país a partir de los datos obtenidos del último Censo de Población y Vivienda 2017. Dicho documento entregó una primera aproximación al mencionado fenómeno desde dos perspectivas. Por un lado, caracterizando a la población migrante a nivel nacional y, por otro, identificando los principales flujos migratorios internos que se establecen entre las regiones del país. El presente trabajo retoma los contenidos de dicho documento, reduciendo esta vez el foco de análisis y ofreciendo una caracterización sociodemográfica de los migrantes internos de la Región de Aysén, además de describir e identificar los principales flujos migratorios que se establecen hacia y desde sus comunas.

  • Brochure Route-Of-Parks EN.Pdf
    ROUTE OF PARKS OF CHILEAN PATAGONIA The Route of Parks of Chilean Patagonia is one of the last wild places on earth. The Route’s 17 National Parks span the entire south of Chile, from Puerto Montt all the way down to Cape Horn. Aside from offering travelers what is perhaps the world’s most scenic journey, the Route has also helped revitalize more than 60 local communities through conservation-centered tourism. This 1,740-mile Route spans a full third of Chile. Its ecological value is underscored by the number of endemic species and the rich biodiversity of its temperate rainforests, sub-Antarctic climates, wetlands, towering massifs, icefields, and its spectacular fjord system–the largest in the world. The Route’s pristine ecosystems, largely untouched by human intervention, capture three times more carbon per acre than the Amazon. They’re also home to endangered species like the Huemul (South Andean Deer) and Darwin’s Frog. The Route of Parks is born of a vision of conservation that seeks to balance the protection of the natural world with human economic development. This vision emphasizes the importance of conserving and restoring complete ecosystems, which are sources of pride, prosperity, and belonging for the people who live in and near them. It’s a unique opportunity to reverse the extinction crisis and climate chaos currently ravaging our planet–and to provide a hopeful, harmonious model of a different way forward. 1 ALERCE ANDINO National Park This park, declared a National Biosphere Reserve of Temperate Rainforests, features 97,000 acres of evergreen rainforest.

  • Finding More Missing Pieces of a Puzzle in a Maze
    FINDING MORE MISSING PIECES OF A PUZZLE IN A MAZE continuing the benthic exploration of channels and fjords in Southern Chilean Patagonia As an intricate system of fjords, labyrinth of channels and islands, each exemplifying different stages of glacial action and associated successional periglacial ecosystems, the Chilean fjord region offers extremely diversified benthic communities which, despite being unique worldwide, have been among the least studied so far. This region is threatened by different anthropogenic effects, such as global warming, the huge salmon farming industry planning to move into currently unprotected fjords, or illegal fishing of protected shellfish species such as ʻlocosʼ (Concholepas concholepas). In order to protect benthic fauna and monitor future changes in biodiversity distribution, it is essential to create accurate faunistic inventories. This is why we initiated a series of scientific expeditions, beginning in 2005. The first one lead us to the Guaitecas Archipelago, south of Grand Chiloé Island. The second took us to the fjords Tempano and Bernardo, including adjacent channels down to 49°S (see GME3, pp. 18–21). Enriched by our 2005 experience, we embarked in 2006 for another adventurous boat trip further south to 52°S. Our international team (seven in total) started Sample sorting through the night. gathering in Punta Arenas at the beginning of March, end of headed north through the channels along Puerto Eden as the austral summer.

Here I use Sentinel-1 interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data and range offset measurements to generate coseismic crustal deformation maps of the 2016 Mw 7.5 Chiloé earthquake Supporting Information: in southern Chile. I find a concentrated crustal deformation with ground displacement of approximately • Supporting Information S1 50 cm in the southern part of the Chiloé island. The best fitting fault model shows a pure thrust-fault motion on a shallow dipping plane orienting 4° NNE. The InSAR-determined moment is 2.4 × 1020 Nm with a shear Correspondence to: W. Xu, modulus of 30 GPa, equivalent to Mw 7.56, which is slightly lower than the seismic moment. The model shows [email protected] that the slip did not reach the trench, and it reruptured part of the fault that ruptured in the 1960 Mw 9.5 earthquake. The 2016 event has only released a small portion of the accumulated strain energy on the 1960 Citation: rupture zone, suggesting that the seismic hazard of future great earthquakes in southern Chile is high.
