Set in a land-use context that is rich in tradition, featuring common pastures and an indigenous cattle breed, landscape preservation today is threatened by fundamental changes in the agricultural community as well as of land-use systems. As part of the MAB network, the UNESCO Black Forest Biosphere Reserve provides collaborative arenas to address these issues and propose action in concertation with local actors and communities. To illustrate this, we describe the ALLMENDE 2.0 applied research project, the creation of a commercialization hub for the local Hinterwälder cattle, and support for the modelling of more extensive ecologically-orientated agriculture.

Milijić","doi":"10.1553/eco.mont-13-sis58","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1553/eco.mont-13-sis58","url":null,"abstract":"In the 50 years since the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Programme (MAB) was launched, 727 sites in 131 countries have gained the status of biosphere reserve (BR). Golija-Studenica BR belongs to the group of BRs that have been active for the past 20 years. This BR is one of the most prominent protected areas and the first of its kind in Serbia. A balance between biodiversity conservation, as the primary goal of protection, and the promotion of sustainable profitable activities involving diverse actors has yet to be achieved. This research aims to provide a contextual understanding of changes in Golija-Studenica BR and draw lessons for future BR development. It relies on the experiential and practical knowledge of diverse stakeholders, including management bodies, the NGO sector and the local population itself. The methodology is based on a qualitative approach, using semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions. Research results show that the BR model is a subtle, time-reliant driver of change, with some unintentional side-effects. It brings about changes in how protected areas are managed, affects the economic behaviour of the local population, raises awareness about environmental issues, and has an impact on demographic trends and social change.

This field study was designed in close cooperation with specialist and municipal authorities, and local inhabitants, and was conducted in sites of communal and city forests in the Main-Spessart district. Over a period of 17 years, student groups focused on three overarching survey parameters, which were in accordance with the working instructions of the Bavarian State Institute of Forestry: Presence of Natura 2000 habitats, habitat structures, and Fauna (with a particular focus on value-adding bird species and bats). The evaluations of each parameter were carried out separately and then combined into an overall evaluation. Following the data analysis and evaluation phase, recommendations for optimizations and subsidies were made. The final results were presented to interested local people, authorities and the press. This information could inform and support grant and subsidy applications for nature and forest conservation efforts.

When awarded the prestigious title, the Triglav National Park (TNP) Authority was already the managing body of TNP, which constitutes the core and buffer zones of the then-newly designated area. Over the course of time, it has become clear that buffer zone management is instrumental in securing the objectives of the TNP and JABR. This paper discusses aspects of management relating mostly to visitation, education and training, cross-border cooperation, and enhancing the local economy through the collaboration of providers. A bottom-up approach and multi-stakeholder networking as essential components of modern policy-making are the key to success, particularly since sustainable development in sensitive areas is reliant upon fostering a strong and broad community identity and local support for protected areas.

The case of the Cerro Khapía in the Peruvian Andes, however, points to mountains as not just nature but also culture. More than a decade ago, different ontologies and opposing views on mountains led to protests of the Aymara people against the exploitation of Cerro Khapía by a Canadian mining company, mainly because the mountain is the local Aymara’s apu or tutelary god. Today, Cerro Khapía is temporarily protected as a Reserved Zone and on track to become a permanently protected area. Moreover, it is a case in point of the importance of questioning one’s own ontological viewpoint and mediating different mind-sets.
