The long-standing socio-ecological crisis and the recent socio-health crisis associated with the Covid-19 pandemic have put the sustainability of life in check, placing the discussion on care in a place of renewed importance within the public debate (Guizardi et al., 2022). This discussion has placed vulnerability and socio-ecological interdependence at the center as elements inherent to life (Carrasco, 2001; Pérez Orozco, 2006; Butler, 2010; Puig de la Bellacasa, 2017), including nature as part of the dynamics of care (Hirata, 2020). Socioecological interdependence as a central element in care relationships places us before the problem of the extractivist development model, as a predatory way of relating to nature, which has effects not only on biodiversity, but also on the health of the people who inhabit these territories (Svampa, 2015). It thus becomes relevant to understand the organization of care in the context of extractivist dynamics. Following Markaki (2022), we will call “socioecologies of care” the perspective of care that understands the human and the social as parts of the same system, moving from an ontology of separation to one of interconnection, and an epistemology of distinctive entities to a space of relationships. A reflection begins to contribute to the understanding of care from a perspective that transcends the social-human, based on a dialogue of knowledge that admits an openness to other ontologies and alternative ways of understanding socioecological relationships in extractive contexts. There is a special interest in forms of community care, which involve certain ethics, emotions and material practices, in which human beings and more than human beings establish social relationships of exchange, maintenance, repair and sustainability of life, which many times are not reflected or recorded as such.
