Conservation charisma is not a guarantee for local recognition and significance
Local ecological knowledge (LEK) holders often differ from the scientific and conservation mainstream in their approaches and priorities regarding nature conservation. In particular, the perceived charisma and symbolic value of protected species may vary substantially between conservation institutions and local communities. This study examines local ecological knowledge and perceptions related to the corncrake ( Crex crex ), a conservation flagsh…
Benefits and challenges of reviewing across knowledge systems
Evidence‐based conservation can benefit substantially from multiple knowledge sources and different knowledge systems. While traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and collaborative research are increasingly acknowledged, detailed cross‐knowledge system reviews are scarce and their methodology underdeveloped. We have two objectives: to prepare such a review and to discuss the benefits and challenges of such reviews. We review pig keeping in fores…
Behind the general pattern of forest loss and gain
Despite deforestation taking place globally, forest cover is increasing in many European landscapes. This increase, however, resulting from plantations and spontaneous forest regrowth, may obscure the generally declining trend of semi-natural forests, though the latter are essential for local and landscape-level conservation strategies and sustainable forest management. We assessed changes in semi-natural and secondary forest cover since the 18th…
Preserving for the future the — once widespread but now vanishing — knowledge on traditional pig grazing in forests and marshes (Sava-Bosut floodplain, Serbia)
Background Traditional knowledge is key for sustainability, but it is rapidly disappearing. Pig keeping in forests and marshes is an ancient, once widespread, now vanishing practice, with a major economic and ecological potential. The knowledge of pig keepers and the foraging activity of pigs are hardly documented. Methods We studied the knowledge of traditional pig keepers ( svinjar s) on wild plants and pig foraging on the Sava-Bosut forest-mar…
Transnational activism against heritage destruction as a human rights violation in Romania before and after 1989
Cet article examine les mobilisations transnationales des deux côtés du rideau de fer contre la destruction du patrimoine en Roumanie pendant le régime de Nicolae Ceaușescu, et leurs suites après 1989. A la fin des années 1980, diverses campagnes ont conduit à la création d’une mission de l’Unesco dont le but était d’évaluer l’état du patrimoine bâti et qui créa un précédent dans le bloc communiste en accusant le régime roumain à l’ONU de violati…
Transnational activism against heritage destruction as a human rights violation in Romania before and after 1989
Prohibited, but still present
Background Forests have been grazed for millennia. Around the world, forest grazing by livestock became a controversial management practice, gradually restricted in many countries over the past 250 years. This was also the case in most Central and Eastern European countries, including Hungary, where forest grazing was a legally prohibited activity between 1961 and 2017. Until the 2010s, ecologists and nature conservationists considered it merely …
Cuban cultural heritage
At a time when global politics is experiencing a significant turn, following the 2016 U.S. elections, and reorientation of the political spectrum in Latin America, Pablo Alonso Gonzalez’s book deli
Regime change and cultural heritage protection, a matter of state security
In the course of the second half of the twentieth century, the consolidation of the institutional and normative framework in heritage protection and preservation was marked by continuity in Western European societies. This meant that heritage lists, and in particular, the values for which assets had been listed, were not subjected to major changes or revisions. However, in 1989, this opportunity was provided to former socialist European countries…
