摘要

We evaluated sustainable livelihood strategies among 94 families across five Indigenous communities in the Colombian Amazon. Using the community capitals framework, we analyzed 56 variables across human, cultural, social, political, built, natural, and financial capitals. Principal component analysis identified three livelihood strategies: traditional, mixed, and dependent. Results indicate that cultural, financial, built, natural, and social capitals are strongly associated with and more prominent in the traditional strategy, whereas human and political capitals are significantly linked to the dependent strategy. These findings underscore the close linkage among Indigenous livelihoods, traditional activities, ancestral practices, and forest ecosystems. The study emphasizes the need for policies and social strategies tailored to the specific context of these communities to promote sustainable rural development.
