Historia Ambiental Colectiva y desde Abajo: Aplicaciones para la Resignificación Territorial en el Golfo de California

A novel methodological approach in environmental history, termed 'collective and from below,' offers a pathway for territorial redefinition and community autonomy in the Gulf of California (GoC). This method leverages multiactoral and intercultural collaboration to construct historical knowledge that reflects diverse voices, enriching understanding of biocultural diversity and socio-ecological challenges. The approach also highlights the efforts of communities and organizations in addressing power asymmetries that have historically exploited the region's resources. By contextualizing the GoC's history of exploitation alongside its ecological significance—including its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and key contributor to Mexico's fisheries and tourism—the study provides tools for legitimizing struggles in defense of this vital marine ecosystem.
