This work addresses a knowledge co-production process regarding the sustainable management of the native forest in the Gran Chaco wetlands (South America), where a wealth of knowledge was shared among the Qom indigenous communities, state development agents, non-governmental organisations, and the scientists involved. Based on anthropological research conducted between 2016 and 2019, we analyse the way in which these types of knowledge have articulated in the management of the forest, thus leading to a 'bottom-up' appropriation process of the sustainability imperative. We consider the serious environmental impacts of the agro-export development model on the region's social and environmental setting, the role of the global sustainability imperative at a
territorial level, and the way in which local actors record and signify the changes occurred in their environment. The ethnographic analysis allows us to discuss essentializing visions about the indigenous and scientific knowledge, as well as to underline the political nature of the sustainability issue in territorial dynamics, and show the challenges and opportunities that are thus highlighted.
