Effects of development interventions on biocultural diversity: a case study from the Pamir Mountains

Abstract: The relationship between nature and culture in biocultural landscapes runs deep, where everyday practices and rituals have coevolved with the environment over millennia. Such tightly intertwined social-ecological systems are, however, often in the world's poorest regions and commonly subject to development interventions which effect biocultural diversity. This paper investigates the social and ecological implications of an introduced wheat seed in the Pamir Mountains. We examine contrasting responses to the in… Show more

“…Similarly, Woroniecki (2019) uses Kabeer's (1999) processual theory of empowerment to expand notions of power within climate adaptation research from an individual attribute or structural force towards a networked social-ecological achievement (Box 3). Meanwhile, still others have looked beyond academia to the distinctive metaphysics of Indigenous, agricultural, and other place-based communities, to develop biocultural approaches rooted in culturally relevant categories beyond dualistic 'social ' and 'ecological' entities (Box 4;Caillon et al 2017;Sterling et al 2017;Merçon et al 2019;Haider et al 2019b).…”

“…I centered my analysis around a specific ritual (Baht ayom, a special porridge for Persian New Year) and articulated the relations between nodes as biocultural practices: sowing (seed), harvesting (grain), and celebrating (using flour). Focusing on practices enabled me to develop a novel relational analysis that moved away from isolated social-ecological entities and helped to reconstruct a language oriented more around relations (Haider et al 2019b).…”

“…Biocultural landscapes and similar agroecological approaches are, therefore, critically important, not only for the maintenance of global crop diversity but also for the cultural diversity necessary to adapt to a changing climate (Brondizio and Le Tourneau 2016). Drawing from research from the Pamir Mountains, a centre of origin of various global staple crops and a centre of high biocultural diversity (Vavilov 1917;Nabhan 2009) and also the poorest area of Central Asia subject to many development interventions (Middleton 2016;Haider et al 2019), we explore each proposition in turn.…”

“…Not surprisingly, then, the failure to deliver on REDD+ is not such a crucial blow to community forest management as it might at first appear, since it has deeper institutional roots. As many institutional economists have pointed out, and empirical evidence bears out (e.g., Haider et al, 2019; Paciotti & Borgerhoff Mulder, 2004), consistency with preexisting institutions favors successful outcomes.…”

“… In some cases sustainable forest management was favored by migrants returning from Oman (where they had been living since the 1964 Revolution) who envisaged restoring their villages to an equilibrium they or their parents remembered from prior to their departure from the island (cf. Haider, Boonstra, Akobirshoeva, & Schlüter, 2019). …”
