Can Indigenous Knowledge contribute to the Sustainability Management of the Aspiring Rio Coco Geopark, Nicaragua?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Indigenous knowledge in the UNESCO Global Geoparks represents an important emerging research topic. This study investigates aspects of the indigenous environmental knowledge in the southern part of the aspiring Rio Coco Geopark (Nicaragua) and its potential to enhance the sustainability management of geotourism and other geopark activities. The ethnographic method has been implemented in the form of semi-structured interviewing of the representatives of local households and through application of participant observation. Related field research methods included documentation of the life history of Elders, focal group discussions, GPS mapping, photo-documentation and problem tree analysis. The results indicate that the best-conserved indigenous environmental knowledge relates to the use of land, rocks and plants, while the expression and transmission of the spiritual dimension of this traditional knowledge are declining. The key implications of the observed indigenous knowledge for the geopark decision-makers include the identified potential for its sustainability management, geotourism and geo-interpretation opportunities as well as the conditions for implementation of this potential.
