Abstract Since 2018, the Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development, the FAO, and the European Union have been supporting the implementation of eight pilots involving community natural forest management. To this effect, a characterization of the wood value chain of each forest area was performed along with the compilation of their wood harvesting costs, in order to identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement, as well as to move towards the formalization of initiatives and their sustainability. This article analyzes the costs and the harvesting and market conditions in four forest areas, and it identifies the main barriers that influence the model’s sustainability. The results indicate that said barriers are specific to each area and, although there are common factors among areas, they should not be generalized for a national model. These findings suggest the need for specific actions in each cluster, which are presented as recommendations.

Resumen Desde el año 2018, el Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible, la FAO y la Unión Europea vienen apoyando la implementación de ocho pilotos sobre el manejo forestal comunitario de bosques naturales. En este contexto, se realizó la caracterización de la cadena de la madera de cada núcleo forestal, junto con la compilación de los costos de aprovechamiento, con el fin de identificar los cuellos de botella y áreas de mejora, así como para avanzar hacia la formalización de las iniciativas y su sostenibilidad. Este artículo analiza los costos, las condiciones del aprovechamiento y las del mercado en cuatro núcleos forestales, e identifica las principales barreras que influyen en la sostenibilidad del modelo. Los resultados indican que estas barreras son particulares a cada zona y, si bien hay puntos en común entre algunos territorios, no deben ser generalizadas para un modelo nacional. Estos hallazgos sugieren la necesidad de acciones puntuales en cada núcleo, las cuales se presentan como recomendaciones.

Through the study of the work of Felipe Wuaman Poma and the through observation of the prints in it included, we intend to achieve an exhaustive comprehension of the thinking patterns, principles and values of the indigenous peoples of the Andean world. We called the methodology applied "laterality study". The latter consists of the observation and analysis of the ilustrations, represented in the prints according to a symbolic arrangement, based on indigenous models of thinking with a hierarchical character -thus linking the sacred world with the profane- that determine the position of divinities, characters and objects according to constants of significance such as importance (social role?), position (social or economic?), sex (gender) and quality (qualification?). Such "laterality principle" is still valid in current Weltanschaungs found in the Andean and South Andean Regions.
