Abstract
Abstract: Discussing situated interventions for managing natural resources and livelihoods in Ecuador's protected areas through the lens of plurinational and intercultural political ecology and critical social work entails a critical interaction rooted in the dialogue of knowledge systems and socio-natural assemblages to redefine the social and intercultural dimensions. This article analyzes findings from an ethnographic study on the practices and knowledge of groups in protected areas who manage resources based on their cosmovisions, referred to as plurinational and intercultural political ecology. Through semi-structured interviews with qualified actors and an innovative theoretical framework, the study concludes that social work must foster interdisciplinarity in plurinational contexts like Ecuador.
