“Conservation, Yes, but of What?” Tensions and Resistance around Traditional Environmental Uses in Europe

Résumé

This communication proposes to question the contemporary evolution of certain uses of the environment qualified as "traditional" within the European continent. It is based on a long-term ethnographic survey (10 years), conducted in medium immersion within various local and indigenous European communities (in depth and multi-sited ethnography), which still practice uses such as gathering, hunting, fishing, or beekeeping. During this survey, the question of the perpetuation of these uses was clearly raised by the local communities. In the face of various ongoing changes, whether political, socio-economic, or environmental, the transmission of these uses, and the knowledge derived from them, to future generations is now being questioned. The theme of Nature conservation is identified by certain actors in these communities as one of the contemporary changes that affect these uses, by restricting or even prohibiting them. Conversely, other actors take advantage of public conservation policies to conserve these uses in addition to the Nature they exploit. Seeking to go beyond this sterile Nature/Culture dichotomy, this communication proposes to explore the diversity of the points of view collected, ranging from resistance and blockages to elements facilitating the implementation of a reasoned conservation of Nature including the sustainable uses of IPLCs. This communication is particularly in line with the conceptual frameworks of critical analysis of Biocultural diversity and the study of Intangible cultural heritage (and specifically its subcategory "knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe").
