Exploring the integration of local and scientific knowledge in early warning systems for disaster risk reduction: a review

Natural Hazards, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 114(2), P. 1125 - 1152

Abstract The occurrence and intensity of some natural hazards (e.g. hydro-meteorological) increase due to climate change, with growing exposure socio-economic vulnerability, leading mounting risks. In response, Disaster Risk Reduction policy practice emphasize people-centred Early Warning Systems (EWS). Global policies stress the need for including local knowledge increasing literature on integrating scientific EWS. this paper, we present a review understand outline how integration is framed in EWS, namely: (1) existing approaches, (2) where EWS happens, (3) outcomes, (4) challenges, (5) enablers. objective critically evaluate highlight critical questions about assumptions, goals, processes. particular, unpack impact power knowledges as plural. We find spectrum between mainly dichotomy at start: focus people or technology. most popular approaches are participatory methods such ‘GIS mapping’ (technology) that ‘triangulation’ (people). analysis relations social interaction either missed challenge within Knowledge often seen binary, embedded concept ‘integration’.

Connecting conservation & culture: The importance of Indigenous Knowledge in conservation decision-making and resource management of migratory marine species

Marine Policy, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 155, P. 105582 - 105582

Published: June 25, 2023

Migratory marine species (e.g., seabirds, mammals, fish, and sea turtles) cross connect distant communities ecosystems throughout their transboundary journeys. Due to multi-jurisdictional cross-cultural movements, studying, managing, protecting migratory as well habitats migration routes are deeply political geographically complex tasks. Despite a place-based cultural connection species; inherent rights, responsibilities, authority manage Sea Country (marine territory), Indigenous far too often excluded from conservation decision-making. In this paper we conduct narrative review synthesis of relevant literature analyze four community-driven case studies (both terrestrial marine) that recognize the incorporation knowledge support governance management culturally significant species.

New directions for Indigenous and local knowledge research and application in fisheries science: Lessons from a systematic review

Fish and Fisheries, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 25(4), P. 647 - 671

Published: April 22, 2024

Abstract Social‐ecological systems like fisheries provide food, livelihoods and recreation. However, lack of data its integration into governance hinders their conservation management. Stakeholders possess site‐specific knowledge crucial for confronting these challenges. There is increasing recognition that Indigenous local (ILK) valuable, but structural differences between ILK quantitative archetypes have stalled the assimilation management, despite acknowledged bias uncertainty in scientific methods. Conducting a systematic review fisheries‐associated research ( n = 397 articles), we examined how accessed, applied, distributed across space species, has evolved. We show generated qualitative, semi‐quantitative information diverse taxa 98 countries. Fisheries‐associated mostly targets small‐scale artisanal fishers (70% studies) typically uses semi‐structured interviews (60%). revealed large variability sample size 4–7638), predicted by approach employed (i.e. qualitative studies target smaller groups).

How is mangrove ecosystem health defined? A local community perspective from coastal Thailand

Ocean & Coastal Management, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 251, P. 107037 - 107037

Published: Feb. 17, 2024

Mangroves, intertidal forests, are increasingly considered a high-priority ecosystem for international conservation efforts. Setting targets future mangrove and restoration requires understanding of the health ecosystem. However, way 'ecosystem health' is defined varies across locations, users, indices due to differences in knowledge ecosystem, scales being assessed, perceptions what 'healthy', or because people use benefit from ecosystems. This can result misunderstandings which undermine effective actions protect restore functioning Here, we case study fishing community coastal Thailand examine how local assess define health. Through participatory workshops, show that at least 27 indicators health, including biological, physical, human indices. Mangrove by both direct material benefits derived non-material aspects, relational value experienced through 'bundles' linked people's livelihood activities. Our findings suggest frameworks would be more useful if they incorporated social components metrics, recognising interdependencies between ecosystems societies, possess intrinsic value.

Abstract Local minority languages and dialects, through the local knowledge expertise associated with them, can play major roles in analysing climate change biodiversity loss, facilitating community awareness of environmental crises setting up locally‐adapted resilience sustainability strategies. While situation contribution Indigenous Tribal Peoples are emblematic importance, issue relationships between cultural linguistic diversity protection does not solely concern peripheral highly‐specialized communities specific ecosystems Global South, but constitutes a worldwide challenge, throughout all countries, whatever their geographical location, economical development, or political status. Environmental emergency should therefore raise international on need to promote survival development dialects take into account creativity relation dynamics environments.
