| description |
Background and aims: in the current context of global biodiversity loss, consensus is growing about the importance of incorporating Traditional Ecological Knowledge in nature conservation. However, efforts with this concern have mainly focused on indigenous cultures, leading to little research about the topic in industrialized countries. In this scenario we chose Sierra de Andía, a Spanish Red Natura Site with ancient grazelands where pastoral management shifts could be leading into a conservation issue. In this context, this study aims to contribute to the valorisation and applicability of traditional ecological knowledge from an industrialized country, by using it to identify and propose management solutions for the site.
M&M: in order to discover traditional knowledge that could be beneficial for conservation management of Sierra de Andía, we interviewed informants about Chamaemelum nobile (a popular medicinal plant closely dependant on grazing pastures) and conducted a pilot vegetation survey about the species.
Results: informants showed deep knowledge about the plant and provided ecological indicators to locate best populations and understand its recent evolution. While there are multiple coincidences between traditional and scientific knowledge, new information only mentioned by interviewees also arose. For instance, rain scarcity at the end of the summer was considered as a probable threat for C. nobile blooming.
Conclusions: this study suggests that local ecological knowledge is accurate, contrastable, and can be applied for a more sustainable management of grazing pastures of Sierra de Andía. |

Conocimiento ecológico tradicional en la Sierra de Andía (Navarra, España) y su aplicabilidad para la conservación de la naturaleza Gorriz, Luis Pardo-de-Santayana, Manuel Chamaemelum nobile conocimiento ecológico tradicional conservación España gestión Navarra Chamaemelum nobile conservation management Navarra Spain traditional ecological knowledge Background and aims: in the current context of global biodiversity loss, consensus is growing about the importance of incorporating Traditional Ecological Knowledge in nature conservation.

Introducción y objetivos: en un contexto de crisis de biodiversidad global, existe un consenso científico y político creciente acerca de la importancia de incorporar el Conocimiento Ecológico Tradicional para la conservación de la naturaleza. Sin embargo, dichos esfuerzos se han centrado en culturas indígenas, dando lugar a una menor atención sobre países industrializados. En este escenario elegimos la Sierra de Andía, un espacio de la Red Natura en España caracterizado por sus antiguos pastos ganaderos, cuyos cambios de gestión recientes podrían conllevar problemáticas para su conservación. En este contexto, el estudio busca contribuir a la valorización y la aplicabilidad del conocimiento ecológico tradicional de un país industrializado, utilizándolo para localizar problemáticas y proponer soluciones de manejo en un área concreta. M&M: con el fin de descubrir el conocimiento tradicional que pudiera ser beneficioso para el manejo y conservación de la Sierra de Andía, se realizaron entrevistas acerca de Chamaemelum nobile (una popular planta medicinal ligada a estos pastos ganaderos) y se llevó a cabo un estudio de campo sobre la especie. Resultados: los informantes mostraron un profundo conocimiento sobre la planta, y proveyeron indicadores ecológicos con los que localizar las poblaciones más abundantes y comprender su evolución reciente. A la vez que encontramos numerosas coincidencias entre el conocimiento ecológico tradicional y el científico, también surgió información exclusiva de los informantes. Conclusiones: este estudio sugiere que el conocimiento ecológico tradicional aportado es preciso, contrastable, y puede ser utilizado para un manejo sostenible de los pastos en la Sierra de Andía.
