Abstract :
[en] Bolivia adopted the international regime for the conservation of biodiversity in the 90s, while cultural diversity was implementing policies for the indigenous peoples of the lowlands. This two-way process was crystallized in a new form of state intervention in the Amazon Region through the implementation of Protected Areas on previously inhabited territories. Based on protection criteria of "nature" and revitalization of the ancient cultures, management areas support sustainable economic development initiative for the locals.
From two experiences of indigenous community tourism projects in protected areas, we use the concept of vernacularization of norms to understand how, through these dispositive of generating local income with "low environmental impact", the principles of conservation and sustainable development try to be translated into life forms of three Amazonian people, the Quechua-Tacana Uchupiamonas San Jose, Tsimane 'and Mosetene Pilon Lajas.
