Documentary abstract — original language

This article documents and compares two socio-environmental disasters linked to mining activity in Latin America: the Tierra Amarilla sinkhole (Chile) and the ground subsidence events recorded in Maceió (Brazil). From a human rights and community environmental psychology perspective, it argues that these events are not isolated incidents, but rather structural manifestations of an extractivist model that prioritizes economic profitability over territorial safety, community well-being, and environmental protection. Using a qualitative methodology based on accounts of daily life, the text examines—drawing on research experiences in Chile and psychosocial support training in Brazil—community strategies for addressing collective suffering stemming from risk and forced displacement, as well as acts of community resistance. The dialogue between these two experiences reveals shared patterns, such as a sense of permanent threat, the breakdown of attachment to the territory, institutional mistrust, and the invisibility of non-pecuniary damages, as well as community strategies for organization, memory, and collective care. The article contributes to the consolidation of community environmental psychology as a critical, ethical, and political field, highlighting its relevance for the design of reparation strategies based on a Human Rights approach. Este artículo documenta y compara dos desastres socioambientales asociados a la actividad minera en América Latina: el socavón de Tierra Amarilla (Chile) y los hundimientos del suelo registrados en Maceió (Brasil). Desde un enfoque de derechos humanos y psicología ambiental comunitaria, se sostiene que estos eventos no son aislados, sino expresiones estructurales de un modelo extractivista que prioriza la rentabilidad económica por sobre la seguridad territorial, el bienestar comunitario y la protección ambiental. A partir de una metodología cualitativa basada en relatos del cotidiano, el texto problematiza, desde las experiencias de investigación en Chile y formación de apoyo psicosocial en Brasil, las estrategias comunitarias para abordar el sufrimiento colectivo derivado del riesgo y el desplazamiento forzado, así como las acciones de resistencia comunitaria. Como resultados del diálogo entre las dos experiencias se evidencian patrones compartidos, tales como la sensación de amenaza permanente, la fractura del apego al territorio, la desconfianza institucional y la invisibilización de los daños extrapatrimoniales, al igual que estrategias comunitarias de organización, memoria y cuidado colectivo. El artículo aporta a la consolidación de la psicología ambiental comunitaria como un campo crítico, ético y político, y destaca su relevancia para el diseño de estrategias de reparación basadas en el enfoque de los derechos humanos.
