The Socioecological Evolution of a Biological Corridor: A 15-year Case Study of the Alexander Skutch Biological Corridor in Southern Costa Rica
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Concerns around the isolation of protected areas led to the establishment of Biological Corridors in Central America two decades ago. Created by executive decree and within the National Framework of Biological Corridors in Costa Rica, the Alexander Skutch Biological Corridor has become an example of collective actions and imaginaries that provides alternative models of rural community development. Multiple lessons arise from this ‘lived experiment’ in Southern Costa Rica, where differing ideologies, agendas, and paradigms converge and where place and a sense of place shape social interactions, both discursive and material. The Biological Corridor becomes a framework with guiding principles for stakeholders, where biodiversity conservation and sustainable development are intertwined in both a local and regional project of global significance. Keywords: Biological Corridors, socioecological wellbeing, community-based conservation, rural livelihoods, imaginaries, Buen Vivir

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
