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.”
