Esta tesis de doctorado analiza los procesos de adquisición de conocimiento ecológico local por parte de los niños (entre cinco y dieciséis años) en una sociedad de cazadores-recolectores en un contexto de rápidos cambios socio-ecológicos: los baka de sureste de Camerún. El principal enfoque de la tesis es en el contexto en el cual ocurre la adquisición de los conocimientos y las actuales transformaciones de este contexto,. En sus cinco capítulos empíricos, esta tesis investiga: a) los conocimientos ecológicos locales de los niños baka; b) el contexto en el cual los niños adquieren los conocimientos ecológicos locales (es decir su participación en actividades cotidianas); c) la organización social de los niños durante sus actividades de subsistencia; d) la relación entre las estrategias de vida de los padres y las actividades cotidianas de los niños; y e) las percepciones de adultos y niños de sus actividades cotidianas y su modo de subsistencia. Los resultados de esta tesis muestran que los conocimientos ecológicos de los niños varían según su sexo y su edad, y que los niños poseen conocimientos específicos, diferentes de los conocimientos de los adultos. Mis resultados también muestran que los niños baka se involucran frecuentemente en actividades de subsistencia, lo cual demuestra la importancia de estas actividades para la adquisición de conocimientos ecológicos locales durante la niñez. Según mis resultados, las actividades cotidianas de los niños varían según el sexo desde una edad temprana y cambian con el tiempo, con una creciente participación en actividades introducidas recientemente (como escuchar música moderna o jugar al futbol) a medida que los niños crecen. Además, mis resultados demuestran la existencia de múltiples esquemas de organización social de los niños baka durante sus actividades de subsistencia, sugiriendo la diversidad de procesos de adquisición de conocimientos ecológicos locales durante la niñez. Asimismo, los resultados de este trabajo muestran que las variables seleccionadas para medir el grado de cambio social entre los padres, no están asociadas a diferente participación de los niños en actividades cotidianas, sugiriendo que el impacto de los cambios sociales en los niños se debería evaluar a nivel de la comunidad. Finalmente, los resultados de esta tesis demuestran que las expectativas sobre qué significa ser adulto son diferentes entre niños y adultos,, con los niños favoreciendo actividades cotidianas relativas a un modo de vida sedentario. Esta tesis aporta nuevos elementos a la discusión sobre el impacto de los cambios socio-ecológicos en los conocimientos ecológicos locales al considerar la importancia de la vida cotidiana de los niños y sus percepciones en un contexto de cambio. Al resaltar la especificidad del sistema de conocimientos ecológicos locales de los niños Baka, los resultados de este trabajo enfatizan la importancia de desarrollar herramientas metodológicas adaptadas a la investigación con niños. Esta tesis también resalta la alta autonomía e independencia de los niños baka y como sus comportamientos parecen estar formados más por los modelos culturales de la comunidad en general que por los comportamientos específicos de sus padres. Dado que la niñez es un periodo clave para la adquisición de conocimientos culturales, los resultados de esta tesis ponen en evidencia la necesidad de una investigación de carácter más global, que se enfoque en el impacto potencial de actividades de reciente aparición (escuela, agricultura, televisión) en la adquisición de los conocimientos ecológicos locales. Finalmente, este trabajo resalta la importancia de evaluar los cambios socio-ecológicos no solamente mirando a los diferentes tipos de conocimientos y los diferentes grupos sociales, sino también a un contexto social más amplio y considerando lo que los individuos hacen y cómo perciben su propia realidad.

Local knowledge refers to knowledge and expertise, which originate from local and indigenous cultures that have developed over time. Its practices have been absorbed naturally and effortlessly into the local communities. However, due to globalization and modernization, much of this knowledge has not been practiced and will be lost in time if efforts are not taken to preserve, conserve and transfer it to the community. Through the discussion of six articles written based on local and international research findings, this book brings together researchers committed to local knowledge in sharing the process of documentation on local knowledge transfer issues and challenges, and the methodology of knowledge transfer. Thus, new ideas are presented to promote the practice of preserving and conserving local knowledge to the practitioners, students and communities.

This book explores the interactions of local inhabitants and environmental systems in the Protected Natural Areas of Mexico. Its goal is to help understand how social groups contextualize ecological knowledge, how human activities contribute to modifying the environmental matrix, how cultural and economic aspects influence the use, management and conservation of their ecological environment, and how social phenomena are to be viewed against the backdrop of ecological knowledge. The book reviews the epistemological and historical bases of the socio-ecological relationship, and addresses the evolution of human-natural systems. From a methodological standpoint, it assesses the tools required for the integration of “human” and “natural” dimensions in the management of the environmental matrix. Further, in the case studies section, it reviews valuable recent experiences concerning the retro-interactions of local inhabitants with their environmental matrix. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable asset for researchers and professionals all over the world, especially those working in Latin American countries.

This book explores how individuals and communities perceive and understand climate change using their observations of change in the world around them. Because processes of climatic change operate at spatial and temporal scales that differ from those of everyday practice, the phenomenon can be difficult to understand. However, flora and fauna, which are important natural and cultural resources for human communities, do respond to the pressures of environmental change. Humans, in turn, observe and adapt to those responses, even when they may not understand their causes. Much of the discussion about human experiences of our changing climate centers on disasters and extreme events, but we argue that a focus on the everyday, on the microexperiences of change, has the advantage of revealing how people see, feel, and make sense of climate change in their own lives. The chapters of this book are drawn from Asia, Europe, Africa, and South and North America. They use ethnographic inquiry to understand local knowledge and perceptions of climate change and the social and ecological changes inextricably intertwined with it. Together, they illustrate the complex process of coming to know climate change, show some of the many ways that climate change and our responses to it inflict violence, and point to promising avenues for moving toward just and authentic collaborative responses.

In recent years, the field of study variously called local, indigenous or traditional environmental knowledge (TEK) has experienced a crisis brought about by the questioning of some of its basic assumptions. This has included reassessing notions that scientific methods can accurately elicit and describe TEK or that incorporating it into development projects will improve the physical, social or economic well-being of marginalized peoples. The contributors to this volume argue that to accurately and appropriately describe TEK, the historical and political forces that have shaped it, as well as people's day-to-day engagement with the landscape around them must be taken into account. TEK thus emerges, not as an easily translatable tool for development experts, but as a rich and complex element of contemporary lives that should be defined and managed by indigenous and local peoples themselves.

A Dynamic Balance illuminates the importance of understanding the social dimension of sustainability as it examines the links between social capital and sustainable development within the overall context of local community development. Looking at case studies in both Australia and Canada, it draws upon lessons that can be learned to reconnect large urban centres and smaller communities. Given the number of small communities in both countries struggling to diversify from single-resource economies in a context of increasing globalization, the analysis touches on several critical public policy issues. This is a timely and provocative call for reconciliation and reconnection within and between communities.
