Notes

Abstract: This work proposes a new concept for changing the perception about the high mountain habitats in the sub-Antarctic region of Cape Horn, from a “high-Andean desert” toward gardens where positive ecological interactions thrive. We generate this change through a practice of field environmental philosophy that involved the composition of metaphors and the design of field activities guided with an ecological and ethical orientation. This new concept aims to refine the observation and understanding about the life habits of mountain’s plants, where cooperation enhances the richness of species that con-inhabit in these high-Andean habitats. We demonstrated that cushion life-habit prevails in these environments, among both vascular and non-vascular plants. To foster an ethical valuation and a synthesis of the ecological discoveries about these life habits and the positive interactions they establish with other species, we composed the metaphor: “High-Andean sub-Antarctic gardens.”

Resumen:Este trabajo propone un nuevo concepto para cambiar la percepción de los hábitats de alta montaña en la región subantártica de Cabo de Hornos, desde un “desierto altoandino” hacia “jardineras” donde prevalecen las interacciones ecológicas positivas. Este cambio lo generamos a través de una práctica de la filosofía ambiental de campo, que incluyó la investigación en conjunto con la composición de metáforas y el diseño de actividades de campo ecológica y éticamente guiadas. El nuevo concepto procura afinar la observación y comprensión de los hábitos de vida de las plantas de alta montaña, donde la cooperación favorece la riqueza de especies que co-habitan en los hábitats altoandinos. Se demostró que el hábito de crecimiento en “cojín” es muy frecuente en estos ambientes, tanto en plantas vasculares como en musgos. Para promover la valoración ética y sintetizar descubrimientos ecológicos de estas formas de vida y las interacciones positivas que establecen con otras especies, se compuso la metáfora: “Jardineras altoandinas subantárticas”.
