How does environmental protection intersect with processes of democratization in LatinAmerica? This paper examines this question with a case study in Guatemala centered on theMaya Biosphere Reserve. In particular, I explore how individuals and collectives-who aredifferently situated socially, politically, and geographically-conceptualize and negotiate thelinkages between conservation and democratization in Guatemala. Drawing upon interviewswith key players as well as my ethnographic research on the daily practices of conservationin the reserve, I suggest that democratization and environmental protection in Guatemala inter-sect in uneasy and paradoxical ways. At the heart of these contradictions lay historical patternsof exclusion that restrict who counts as a political actor, (environmental) decision-maker, andtherefore citizen.
