Krausirpe, Gracias a Dios, Honduras, February 1992

For a few months in early 1992, I lived with the Tawahka people, learning about their culture, resource management techniques, and agricultural and fishing practices, and the threats they face from outside forces beyond the Tawahka’s control. Mostly though, I grew to love these generous and welcoming people who accepted me into their homes and lives.

The Tawahka, an indigenous group of approximately 1,500, live in the middle Río Patuca region of La Mosquitia in northeastern Honduras. Up until the early 17th century, they originally lived on the northern Caribbean coast but were forced inland by the Miskito Indians. There, the Tawahka adopted new subsistence patterns, primarily hunting, fishing and swidden agriculture, which, over the centuries, has had minimal impact on the region’s biodiversity and ecological integrity.
.
Although the Tawahka have remained somewhat geographically isolated, they now struggle with the challenge many indigenous peoples face: how to maintain the values and cultural practices that make them unique while resisting outside threats to the tropical rain forest ecology and their natural resource management practices. The Tawahka Asangni Biosphere Reserve (TABR), formally designated in 2002, was meant to curtail outside impacts on the Tawahka. Unfortunately, pressure from wealthy cattle ranchers, environmental refugees, and drug runners continues to threaten the Tawahka’s culture and livelihood, as well as the stunning natural beauty of the middle Rio Patuca region.
.
Protected areas such as the TABR are meant to protect biodiversity as well as the native human populations. Acknowledging that human activities are intertwined with the natural world is crucial to the long-term management of protected areas. Indeed, author Mark Dowie ("Conservation Refugees; The Hundred-Year Conflict between Global Conservation and Native Peoples") speaking of the tension between conservationists and local or indigenous populations says, "...when conservationists find unprotected land that has high biological diversity, it's because there are people living there who possess traditional ecological knowledge that protects not only biological diversity but cultural diversity.”

The kanak maoil (indigenous people of Hawai'i) developed the ahupua'a* system of resource management as a means to live sustainably in an island ecosystem. This system recognized the interconnection between the mountains and the ocean, and the role that fresh water played in linking the two. The ahupua'a contained all the neccesary resources to feed, clothe, and shelter the people living within it. It nourished a large and healthy population while maintaining the integrity of the island' natural resources. Some ahupua'a, like that of this artistic rendering of the Limahuli Valley in the ahupua'a of Ha'ena, Halele'a Kaua'i. remained intact up to the latter half of the 20th century. By looking to this system of resource management and the values associated with it, inspiration as well as practical methods can be found for living in balance with nature. Here at Limahuli Garden and Preserve of the National Tropical Botanical Garden we hope to be an example of a modern ahupua'a, illustrating how this concept can benefit contemporary Hawai'i by caring for the land and supporting the empowerment of its indigenous community.

STRAWBERRY, Calif (December 4, 2024) – Fire crews on the Stanislaus National Forests Summit Ranger remove piles near the town of Strawberry in an ongoing effort to reduce hazardous fuels in the area. On hand were firefighters from the Stanislaus Hotshots, Engine 312, Engine 314 and Helitak 517. The piles are a result of mastication work done in previous seasons as part of the Widlfire Crisis Strategy/Social and Ecological Resilience Across the Landscape Project. Between Monday December 2 and Wednesday December 4, the crews were able to remove approximately 48 acres of piles.
