ABOUT THIS BOOK
On the conservation frontier of southern Chile, the lives of smallholding settlers, Indigenous Mapuche farmers, environmental activists, entrepreneurs, and conservation scientists all grapple with the enduring impacts of settler-caused environmental depletion, aspirations for a new ethics of care, and the promises of an ecotourism boom. Here, the question of what it means to be human is not simply an existential concern but the reflexive result of experiences of becoming human through and with nonhuman others in an increasingly uncertain world.
