Today, they represent over 6 percent of Latin America’s landmass. By considering national park creation across a broad regional span and six crucial decades, this article explains a mode of state formation focused on caring for nature instead of just exploiting it. It examines how national parks expanded in the region by identifying three consequent trajectories: the use of these conservation units for frontier development in Argentina and as part of a broader project seeking social justice in Mexico; the formation of more haphazard park initiatives in various countries, taking Brazil and Chile as main examples; and the development of ecologically coherent park systems through the cases of Peru and Colombia. The article also addresses the role of science (especially forestry) and international cooperation in shaping national parks. In this manner, it uncovers the paths that faded from view after the idea that parks intend to protect biodiversity took hold and illustrates a rarely acknowledged aspect of state expansion.}, journal={LATIN AMERICAN RESEARCH REVIEW}, author={Freitas, Frederico and Leal, Claudia and Wakild, Emily}, year={2024}, month={May} }

Insects have co-shaped the geographies of knowledge production throughout history in three primary dimensions: through their size, density, and multiplane existence. Insects' miniature worlds have helped humans to create trans-scale analogies. Their spatial transgression and swarming capacity have overwhelmed people, including field researchers, contributing to the making of the places where science is produced. Finally, insects' "ontologically alien" ways of engaging with environments (e.g., flying and living underground) have offered valuable material for humans' imaginings of their own realities. By prioritizing insects' own spatial characteristics, this tripartite typology of human/insect entanglements intends to spur new ways of writing histories of science that engage with space and place.}, number={1}, journal={ISIS}, author={Cabral, Diogo de Carvalho and Freitas, Frederico}, year={2024}, month={Mar}, pages={136–140} }

This is achieved by collecting and annotating street-view images, extracting objective metrics through computer vision techniques, and using crowdsourcing to statistically model the perception of subjective metrics such as safety and maintenance. For modeling human perception and scaling it up with a predictive algorithm, we evaluate perception predictions across two points in time separated by economic changes in the urban core of Raleigh, North Carolina, in the aftermath of the 2008 Great Recession. We hypothesize specific socioeconomic processes can be substantially reflected in the built environment of cities and, thus, render themselves visible at the street level. This paper describes the process of incorporating subjective visual ratings across two datasets of temporally separated street-view images, an algorithm, and a visualization tool. This work serves as a case study for utilizing AI and visualization techniques in a richer characterization of urban spaces that includes both objective metrics such as income (that operates at a broader scale) and subjective metrics such as perception of individuals (that operates at a narrower scale at specific locations). We outline an interdisciplinary methodology to test this hypothesis in streetscape data from Raleigh, NC, from 2008 to 2020. We describe the results of training algorithms that utilized image features with crowdsourced human perception ratings. We provide a comparison of the results with income data. The analysis and interpretation of this comparison provide insight into the challenges and opportunities for using AI technology in characterizing changes in urban environments. One challenge is the ability of human domain experts to interpret the output of algorithms through manipulation and to integrate these results into their workflow. This is addressed with a novel interface designed for interactive analysis and visualization. We conclude with a discussion of some of the benefits and limitations of integrating AI models in the human expert's decision-making process in the presence of both subjective and objective metrics.}, number={4}, journal={AI & SOCIETY}, publisher={Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, author={Freitas, Frederico and Berreth, Todd and Chen, Yi-Chun and Jhala, Arnav}, year={2023}, month={Aug}, pages={1361–1371} }

In Nationalizing Nature, Frederico Freitas uncovers the crucial role played by conservation in the region's territorial development by exploring how Brazil and Argentina used national parks to nationalize borderlands. In the 1930s, Brazil and Argentina created some of their first national parks around the massive Iguazu Falls, shared by the two countries. The parks were designed as tools to attract migrants from their densely populated Atlantic seaboards to a sparsely inhabited borderland. In the 1970s, a change in paradigm led the military regimes in Brazil and Argentina to violently evict settlers from their national parks, highlighting the complicated relationship between authoritarianism and conservation in the Southern Cone. By tracking almost one hundred years of national park history in Latin America's largest countries, Nationalizing Nature shows how conservation policy promoted national programs of frontier development and border control.}, publisher={Cambridge University Press}, author={Freitas, Frederico}, year={2021}, month={Mar} }

O artigo analisa as visões sobre a Patagônia Oriental presentes no discurso do geógrafo e naturalista argentino Francisco Moreno no final do século XIX. A análise dos documentos demonstra que a preocupação em rebater uma idéia corrente que via a Patagônia como um "deserto inútil" somada à decepção com o processo de distribuição de terras ocorrido após a conquista militar da região fizeram com que Moreno doasse três léguas de suas terras para a criação do primeiro parque nacional argentino, o Nahuel Huapi. No final, a visão do mundo natural como um dos elementos fundamentais para a construção do Estado-Nação argentino revela-se como a base para as ações de Moreno.
