Resumen
This article proposes a historical, multispecies, and ontological approach to human–wildlife
conflict (HWC) in the Colombian páramos. Focusing on the páramos surrounding the capital city
of Bogotá, we reconstruct the historically changing relationship between cattle-farming campesino
communities and the Andean bear, Tremarctos ornatus. Using ethnographic and historical research
methods, we conceptualise this relationship as embedded in localised landscapes and multispecies
assemblages, in which scientists, conservation practitioners, water infrastructures, public environmental
agencies, and cows participate as well. This article demonstrates that insufficient attention
to the practices and relationships of historically marginalised humans and non-humans in the
management of HWCs contributes to new dynamics of exclusion and friction, and can reduce the
effectiveness of conservation programmes. We conclude that opening up conservation to the interests
and knowledges of local communities is imperative in moving towards more historically informed,
pluralistic and effective conservation strategies.
