Abstract

ABSTRACT The turbulent history of one of the most important natural preserves of Russia, surrounding the Bikin River, sometimes called Russia’s Amazon, is related by one of the park’s founders. This Indigenous narrator interweaves the story of his people, the Udegé, together with their relationship to the sacred Bikin taiga lands, and to issues of leadership on many levels. The case is significant because it features one of the few large Indigenous territories that have been saved from development (timber, gold, road building) by continuously scheming outsiders, and for its depiction of the importance of Indigenous solidarity combined with guarantees of flexible traditional land use (hunting, trapping, fishing). Russian ecology activists and international allies in the battle for the park played key roles, as did the presence on Bikin territories of the charismatic largest cat in the world, the Siberian tiger.
《自行车之战:一个远东公园是如何诞生的
摘要俄罗斯最重要的自然保护区之一,比金河(有时被称为俄罗斯的亚马逊),其动荡的历史与该公园的创始人之一有关。这位土著叙述者将他的人民乌代盖的故事,以及他们与神圣的比金泰加土地的关系,以及与多个层面的领导问题交织在一起。这起案件意义重大,因为它是少数几个被不断策划的外来者从开发(木材、黄金、道路建设)中拯救出来的大型土著领土之一,而且它描述了土著团结的重要性,并保证了灵活的传统土地利用(狩猎、诱捕、捕鱼)。俄罗斯生态活动家和国际盟友在公园争夺战中发挥了关键作用,世界上最具魅力的猫科动物西伯利亚虎也出现在比金地区。
