Abstract

The potential benefits of integrating vernacular religious beliefs into biodiversity conservation and sustainability actions have been emphasized widely, while specific examples and the synergies between religious communities and conservationists in particular spaces deserve more attention. The manifestations of vernacular religions in territories devoted to sustainability, such as Biosphere Reserves (BRs), are a particularly rich area for study. While La Campana-Peñuelas BR has long been recognized as a territory where local religion is an important feature, greater awareness of this and of the potential link to sustainability actions is still lacking, as is awareness of the potential of the BR to become a Multi-Internationally Designated Area. Here we report on the diversity of popular religious activities within the BR. Possible synergies between popular religion and sustainability are based on the strong organizational capacities of local communities, and on an ethical vision of social justice that encompasses both human relations and attitudes towards the non-human beings within the biosphere.

民间宗教与可持续性:加强生物圈保护区内的协同作用

将地方宗教信仰融入生物多样性保护和可持续发展行动的潜在好处已经得到了广泛的强调，而具体的例子以及宗教社区与特定空间的保护主义者之间的协同作用值得更多的关注。乡土宗教在致力于可持续发展的领土上的表现，如生物圈保护区(BRs)，是一个特别丰富的研究领域。虽然La Campana-Peñuelas BR长期以来一直被认为是一个地方宗教是一个重要特征的领土，但对这一点以及与可持续发展行动的潜在联系的更多认识仍然缺乏，对BR成为多国国际指定地区的潜力的认识也是如此。在这里，我们报道BR内流行宗教活动的多样性。民间宗教与可持续性之间可能的协同作用的基础是当地社区强大的组织能力和社会正义的伦理观念，其中既包括人类关系，也包括对生物圈内非人类的态度。配置文件
