Talk:Sacrifice zone

Contribution to the etymology section and suggestion to change a little bit the definition
I am adding information on how the origin of the concept seems to come from the field of livestock management and was transformed with the environmental movements.

Also, I would like to change the first sentence in the definition section:

A sacrifice zone or sacrifice area is a geographic area that has suffered severe impairment due to environmental damage or economic disinvestment.

I consider important not to use the phrase "permanently impaired" because as Juskus (2022) mentions "the concept of a sacrifice zone contains a seed of transformation" (p. 20). According to this author, several environmental movements have taken up this concept to denote the "sacred" character of these spaces and are fighting for their recovery.
