The environmental crisis is a turning point, which confronts us with the consequences of the extractivist, capitalist and modern worlds, at the same time that it calls for some thinking and education that make other realities possible, where coexistence with different forms of life, sustainability and socio-environmental justice are the horizons. This article seeks to present certain ideas from Donna Haraway's philosophy to configure other habitable worlds. Those ideas can be considered in different fields of environmental thinking and education. Based on Haraway's work, and in dialogue with different authors, it is proposed to investigate 5 axes: a. the tentacular thought, in order to interweave bodies, ideas and diverse territories; b. the kin generation and the question of relationships with different living beings and environments; c. the monstrous as a declassifying power and generator of new environmental understandings; d. the need for new configurations of Nature(s) as collective constructions; e. the power of the arts in environmental thought, a driving force for the imagination of possible worlds, and for the opening of new questions and affections. Our conclusions point to the need to build bridges between this author and environmental thinking and education in Latin America, as well as to enable certain compass questions, living questions to travel the paths of a wounded planet. With what thoughts do we think? What relationships do we build with other beings? How to become inappropriate, and vindicate the monstrous? What stories do we tell and what stories shape us? How to affect environmental practices and knowledge? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this manuscript is to contribute to the discussion on the links between arts and sciences in the practices of environmental care and biodiversity conservation. The starting point is the experience in Isla Victoria Laboratory project. This island, located in Nahuel Huapi Lake, is a historical environmental emblem, where a century ago the most important Arboretum in Patagonia was installed and where many conservation projects are currently being developed. The study presents a debate of de arts-sciences relationship in the context of environmental crisis, and hence, taking the case of Isla Victoria as a starting point, explores certain questions and experiences on the horizons of these approaches in pursuit of environmental care.

In this work we focus on the analysis and comparison of the assumptions underlying two types of human practices that are identified as antagonistic: the current model called "extractivist" and the hegemonic practices related to conservation, particularly from Conservation Biology. We analyzed three common assumptions common to these practices: their global character, the exclusion of human living and the reification of nature. Our hypothesis states that extractivism and biodiversity conservation present complementary pillars, referring to the relationship between human and environment as well as the conception of Nature. In turn, we seek to recover certain proposals within conservation that dispute the hegemonic perspective in order to draw new horizons in environmental care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Environmental issues have fractured our ways of thinking, knowing and acting. From these fissures, the notion of complexity has emerged. Complexity appears in the epistemological proposals of Rolando Garcia, Enrique Leff and Edgar Morin as a matrix for addressing environmental issues, as well as in natural sciences in general. Particularly, conservation biology has integrated this "complex" view into its goal to preserve biodiversity. Now, what distances and proximities appear between these "complexities"? The purpose of this paper is to characterize the complexity perspectives in Leff, Garcia and Morin, and to contrast such approaches with the theoretical and epistemological assumptions of conservation biology, examining their relationships and trying to establish a common horizon between those epistemological proposals and the environmental sciences.
