Sharing Multiple Perspectives on Burning: Towards a Participatory and Intercultural Fire Management Policy in Venezuela, Brazil, and Guyana

Abstract: Although there is convincing scientific research for the role of Indigenous fire practices in sustainable land management, Indigenous peoples’ involvement in policy-making is limited. This paper presents findings from a fire management workshop where experiences and perspectives were shared among 60 academic, government, and Indigenous representatives from 27 organizations from Venezuela, Brazil, and Guyana. The data, in the form of small group discussions, participatory drawings, whole group reflections, and … Show more

“…Formalising knowledge and practices in model form can also give local people credibility and visibility. In the case of the Pemón, articulation of local knowledge in this way promoted dialogue with resource managers, shifting official narratives away from fire suppression towards management (Bilbao et al, 2019). However, there is considerable debate about whether rules derived from locally-specific knowledge can be applied in other places or at broader scales.…”

“…In the case of Sumatran peat fires, for example, no single stakeholder group is primarily responsible for firesetting and there are many nuanced motivations for setting fires (Carmenta et al, 2017). Co-production of fire policies through the involvement of local stakeholders (Laris and Wardell, 2006;Monzón-Alvarado et al, 2014;Humphrey et al, 2020) and the recognition of traditional knowledge in the environmental policy making process (Rodríguez et al, 2018;Bilbao et al, 2019;Devisscher et al, 2019;Mistry et al, 2019) may be important ways to narrow the policyimplementation gap. When policies are evaluated (and possibly adapted) there is a need to disaggregate across societal groups, with particular attention paid to the voices of often marginalised stakeholders, such as the poorest, Indigenous peoples and women (Schreckenberg et al, 2018).…”

“…: 1 -47 -17 -Para el PNLM existe un programa de manejo en el que se mencionan objetivos y metas a cumplir en materia de incendios; sin embargo, su aplicación y gestión aún no muestran un nivel de compromiso a nivel comunitario e interinstitucional, que promueva un manejo intercultural del fuego. Al igual que en otras partes del mundo, el uso del fuego por parte de actores que convergen en el territorio implica perspectivas diferentes de un mismo fenómeno, es aquí donde se materializan más los conflictos que existen entre ellos (Rodríguez, 2004;Bilbao et al, 2019). Los actores sociales considerados para el presente trabajo son la población de la comunidad de Antelá y Tziscao, las instituciones gubernamentales federales (CONAFOR, CONANP, PROFEPA), estatales (Gobierno del Estado), municipales, turistas extranjeros y nacionales, periodistas, investigadores, académicos, técnicos, grupos organizados y sociedad urbana.…”

“…Un caso similar, ocurre con los indígenas Pemón en Venezuela, donde el fuego es un elemento central de los diversos aspectos de la vida que forma parte de su identidad cultural. Ahí el fuego también es apreciado como mensajero y brinda señales con su presencia o ausencia (Rodríguez, 2004;Rodríguez y Sletto, 2009;Bilbao et al, 2019). El fuego más que un elemento de la naturaleza se considera por grupos Mayas como un elemento importante y sagrado, tanto en su vida diaria como en actividades sociales tales como: calentar alimentos, aromatizar, alumbrar, obtención de materiales como cal y estuco (Castillo, 2016).…”
