abstract = "Governance of natural resources in the Amazon has changed over
time, especially when it comes to participatory regimes. Yet these
regimes have rarely focused on the conservation of aquatic systems
or have failed to fully deliver social justice. Participatory
regimes in the Amazon basin that rely on the provision of
freshwater ecosystem services can potentially favour
transformative and just conservation. A framework referred to as
the 'Just Aquatic Governance' model is proposed to organize and
facilitate the transition of continuing and future endeavours that
seek conservation while also supporting distinct aspects of social
justice. If conservation of aquatic systems can be reconciled with
all aspects of social justice, then transformative and just
governance regimes could emerge without further burdening those at
the forefront of conservation. The Just Aquatic Governance
framework is divided into three aspects of social justice,
organized according to the following pillars: (i) recognitional -
support for cultural diversity and the maintenance of livelihoods,
including food security; (ii) procedural - the right to autonomy
and territory, and support for participatory forms of governance;
and (iii) distributional - promotion of gender equality and fair
distribution of economic benefits. Although not a panacea, the
model proposed here, which can also influence policy strategies,
can potentially align both conservation demands and social
aspirations in the Amazon - a historical, yet still imperative,
need in the region.",
