A conclusion that has been known thanks to a study on which different ways of reciprocity between the two parties have been analyzed. The study was conducted by the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (ICTA-UAB), the Institute for Development Research (France) and the University of Victoria (Canada).
In this report, this analysis suggests that it is important and necessary to promote alternative ways of living in the world; while Add a light of optimism for the present and the future reality of the planet. “These wonderful examples of the multiple ways in which people and nature are mutual benefits are a lot for the future, because they illustrate that there are better paths,” they remember.
Reciprocity and care between people and nature results positively in sustainability
The practices of reciprocity between people and nature, in particular the care relationships of people opposite nature when benefits are observed, can positively contribute to the planet and societies, as can be seen, a complete international study that analyzes the different ways in which this concept is understood and put into practice and is put into practice and put into practice and in practice and in practice and in practice and in practice and and in practice and and in practice and and in practice and and in practice and and in practice and and in practice and and in practice and and in practice and and in practice and and in practice and and in practice and and in practice and and in practice and and in practice and and into practice and and into practice and and in practice and and in practice and and in practice and and in practice and and in practice and and in practice and and in practice and and in practice and and in practice and and in practice and and in practice and and in practice, and and in practice and and in practice and and in practice and into practice in practice in practice and in practice in practice and in practice in practice and in practice in practice and in practice in practice in practice and in practice in practice and in practice in practice in practice and in practice in practice in practice, in practice, in practice, in practice, in practice, in practice, in practice, in practice, in practice Practice is put and put into practice and put into practice and put into practice and put into practice and put into practice and put into practice and put into practice and put into practice and put into practice.
Human activities are the main causes of global change, but the current societies are far from soothing and adapt to the effects of industrialization and capitalism. However, a special number of the magazine People and nature“ from the British Ecological SocietyPublished this week, shows the existence of many cultural practices that promote reciprocity with nature, which shows that there is still room for optimism.
The research, conducted by the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (ICTA-UAB), the Institute for Development Research (France) and the University of Victoria (Canada), is the need to promote alternative ways of living in the world. This special number collects scientific cases of the five continents that show different forms of life in reciprocity with nature. «These wonderful examples of the multiple ways in which people and nature They benefit mutually, they are a lot for the future, because they illustrate that there are better paths » Natalie Ban States, Co editor of the special number.
After more than two years of work, the special number that reciprocity is essential in the way of life of the Indigenous and local peoplesAnd illustrates various and useful ways of how people and nature support each other. As a result of direct experiences and interactions with species and spaces, based on a culture of gratitude and respect, often lived as a moral duty, reciprocity generates positive social and ecological results. “Many of the articles show that people can provide ecosystems so that biodiversity is maintained,” explains Irene Teixidor-Toneu, co-editor of the special number.
“Deze special is een compilatie van 18 wetenschappelijke artikelen uit verschillende uithoeken van de wereld en presenteert verhalen over de wegen waardoor de idealen en waarden van wederkerigheid worden toegepast in de dagelijkse praktijken van inheemse volkeren en andere lokale gemeenschappen,” legt Álvaro Fernández-llamazar, onderzoeker bij de ictea-ub en co-icta-ub en co-icta-ub en co-icteit van het speciale aantal.
The collected case studies are very diverse and include working on Palm Management in the Ecuadorian Amazon, about the protection and collection of Abulon on the northwest coast of the North -American Pacific Ocean and on the construction of nests and the collection of sea birds in Estonia, among other things. «These studies underline the great emphasis that is placed Maintain positive, mutual and responsible relationships between people and their non -human peers», Adds.
Food collection to share them with the neighbors in Cameroon, creating habitats in the intermediate parties that facilitate the spawning and reproduction of fish in chili and return to the sea of the loot of the fish caught to feed the sea birds in the Chilean Patagonia are just a few examples of Practices as simple as favorable for people and the planet.
Moreover, they emphasize that reciprocity is a strong contrast with unilateral, exploiting and growth -oriented capitalist societies and, which represent a way to relate and be in the world that strives for the fair distribution of resources, a detour one Great transforming change potential.
«Reciprocity can be a cultural norm, but also the result of a precise observation of the consequences of transferring the boundaries of the ecosystem. People can learn from their immediate actions and change their relationship with the environment to obtain more sustainable results fairly quickly, “Irene Teixidor toneu reflects.
