Such is the case of the terms Ecosystem Management (EM) and Social-Ecological Systems Management (SESM), two ideas that are highly popular among scientists in Mexico. However, these concepts are seldom problematized and are not analyzed from a critical perspective. Without a clear understanding of these notions, conservationists and researchers often reproduce political and economic strategies that run opposite to their initial intention. Therefore, it is important to examine these concepts in order to ascertain their internal contradictions and develop attainable expectations. The theoretical scaffold used is the classical notion of ideology proposed by Louis Althusser in 1970. Ideology offers a powerful explanation of how scientific terminology is embedded in a political and economic structure. In order to illustrate this, we look at the word management and how it was adopted in the field of industry and in public policy. We also trace back forest management by looking at the history of the U.S. Forest Service. Lastly, we detect some apparent inconsistencies when comparing the SESM theory as it was developed in the U.S. to local communities in Mexico.

En este artículo se retoman algunos conceptos centrales de la obra de Freire con la finalidad de resaltar su importancia en el diseño y la ejecución de proyectos de educación ambiental que contribuyan a la eliminación de todas las formas de explotación y destrucción socioecosistémica. Se trata de volver a revisar la ya clásica obra de Freire y de reconocer su vigencia y su valor como un modelo capaz de cuestionar y ver más allá de los discursos en boga.

According to its research purposes, it includes biophysical aspects as well as political, economic, and cultural elements. However, to ensure that the analysis of social processes is effectively attended, it is recommended that biophysical scientists, ecologists in particular, explore the theoretical diversity within the social sciences. Drawing on our teaching experiences of more than a decade and our work as members of research teams that aim to move toward interdisciplinary work, we briefly explore four schools of thought in the social sciences explaining their philosophical and methodological dimensions, as well as the research methods they advocate. We propose that a deeper understanding of these issues will reinforce the dialogue between ecologists and social scientists and will enhance collaboration in social-ecological research projects. An invitation is also made to consider how interpretivism, constructivism, and critical theory can add value to social-ecological research when seeking to document and explain the perspectives of different stakeholders involved in the interaction between people and ecosystems. Related to this invitation we advocate that social-ecological science is essentially collaborative and needs to move toward knowledge coproduction emphasizing the relevance of communication and linkage strategies among diverse stakeholders in order to transit to sustainable socialecological systems. In order to illustrate some of our ideas, we present a case of social-ecological research related to the conservation of big predators in Mexico.
