“…Indigenous and local knowledge, which often emphasizes the importance of learning about the environment from experience on the land rather than from didactic teaching in classrooms, is also increasingly expanding discussions around environmental education curricula and methods (84,85), as well as recognition of alternative conceptions of expertise and ways of knowing, which are not tied to academic expertise and publications (19,86). Oral histories, storytelling, and music-making continue to be powerful conduits for intergenerational transmission of knowledge (87,88). As an example, Aboriginal stories regarding coastal inundation in Australia can be traced to environmental changes over 7,000 years ago (89).…”

The knowledge, values, and practices of Indigenous peoples and local communities offer ways to understand and better address social-environmental problems. The article reviews the state of the literature on this topic by focusing on six pathways by which Indigenous peoples and local communities engage with management of and relationships to nature. These are ( a) undertaking territorial management practices and customary governance, ( b) contributing to nature conservation and restoration efforts with regional to global implications, ( c) co-constructing knowledge for assessments and monitoring, ( d) countering the drivers of unsustainable resource use and resisting environmental injustices, ( e) playing key roles in environmental governance across scales, and ( f ) offering alternative conceptualizations of the interrelations between people and nature. The review shows that through these pathways Indigenous peoples and local communities are making significant contributions to managing the health of local and regional ecosystems, to producing knowledge based in diverse values of nature, confronting societal pressures and environmental burdens, and leading and partnering in environmental governance. These contributions have local to global implications but have yet to be fully recognized in conservation and development polices, and by society at large. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Environment and Resources, Volume 46 is October 2021.

“…In Mongolia, the Khalkha Mongols make up 86% of the ethnic population nationwide. However, in Bayan-Ölgii, the ethnic population is largely dominated by Kazakhs, who represent 90% of the community (Post, 2019). A majority of the Kazakhs who currently reside in…”

Background: Bayan-Ölgii is a unique province (aimag) located in the extreme western mountain fastnesses of Mongolia that has continued to attract an increasing number of visitors from around the world who come to see its famed eagle hunting festival or to climb Mongolia’s highest peak. Alongside growing tourism, the local population also continues to grow, with Bayan-Ölgii having the highest number of annual deliveries of all the Mongolian aimags. However, despite technical improvements in maternal healthcare and a nationwide decrease in maternal mortality, it is of great concern to local healthcare workers that the maternal mortality rate in Bayan-Ölgii has not been decreasing over recent years. Thus, the following study is a broad analysis of the state of maternal healthcare in Bayan-Ölgii, including its strengths, weaknesses, and future considerations. Methods: The following analysis is a descriptive single-case study involving clinical observations by the authors, interviews and focus groups with patients and medical practitioners, and outcome data from local hospitals and public health databases. Results: Over the past decade, the main maternity department at Bayan-Ölgii has successfully grown into a well-equipped health facility with sound practices such as engaging in prenatal care contracts and admitting women with high-risk pregnancies. While our analysis revealed some areas of need at the practitioner and hospital levels, many potential interventions seem to lie at the community level in order to ensure the health and well-being of women in Bayan-Ölgii before and up to the time that they become pregnant. Conclusions: This study aims to highlight both the strengths and challenges of maternal healthcare in Bayan-Ölgii. By elucidating areas of weakness, we hope that future efforts of implementation research and intervention can be guided by improvements specific to the needs of the community.
