Documentary abstract — original language

El trabajo presenta un análisis de la participación de las comunidades de la provincia del Azuay en la defensa de la naturaleza, concebida como la Pachamama, y cómo ella adquiere, junto a las comunidades, un rol político. El objetivo fue analizar la defensa de los derechos de la naturaleza otorgados por la Constitución ecuatoriana desde la cosmovisión andina. Se aplicó una metodología mixta (cuanti-cuali) en siete comunidades de la provincia del Azuay. Se realizaron 303 encuestas semiestructuradas en diferentes tipos de organizaciones que defienden los derechos de la naturaleza: cabildos comunales, juntas de agua y gobiernos autónomos descentralizados (GAD). Los principales resultados se agruparon en cuatro categorías: percepción comunitaria sobre el significado de la Pachamama, participación comunitaria en la protección de la naturaleza y sus derechos, organización comunitaria en la defensa de la naturaleza y sus derechos y percepción sobre la implementación de políticas públicas por parte del Estado para proteger la naturaleza y sus derechos. En general, las comunidades percibieron a la Pachamama como la madre naturaleza y, desde esta concepción, su relación con el territorio fue de cuidado mutuo. La defensa y la protección no solo atraviesa por el hecho de que la Constitución le otorga derechos, sino en la forma cómo los habitantes participan y se organizan ante la vulneración de los derechos de la Pachamama, pues constituye una amenaza para la integralidad de la vida. This paper presents an analysis of the participation of communities in the province of Azuay in the defense of nature conceived as Pachamama and how it acquires, together with the communities, a political role. The objective was to analyze the defense of the rights of nature granted by the Ecuadorian constitution in the Andean cosmovision. A mixed methodology (quanti-quali) was applied in seven communities in the province of Azuay. A total of 303 semi-structured surveys were conducted with different types of organizations defending the rights of nature: Community Councils, Water Boards, and Decentralized Autonomous Governments (GADs). The main results were grouped into 4 categories: community perception of the meaning of Pachamama, community participation in the protection of nature and its rights, community organization in the defense of nature and its rights, and perception of the implementation of public policies by the state to protect nature and its rights. In general, the communities perceived Pachamama as “mother nature” and, from this conception, their relationship with the territory was one of mutual care, the defense and protection of which not only involves the fact that the constitution grants it rights but also the way in which the inhabitants participate and organize themselves in the face of the violation of Pachamama’s rights, since it constitutes a threat to the integrity of life.
