项目摘要
Recent rapid increases in tourism, migration, and the spread of invasive species have escalated local tensions between conservation and development to a global level, with the Galapagos Islands placed on the United Nation's list of World Heritage Sites that were "In Danger" in 2007. A number of political and environmental leaders have generated a new vision for the islands, hoping to rewrite past policies that separated pristine nature from people by focusing instead on participatory environmental management. Attempts to resolve this crisis, however, must be negotiated among a wide set of stakeholders with diverse perspectives and interests, including local residents, conservationists, scientists, tourists, and the tourism industry. Set in the context of a crisis moment in the Galapagos Islands, this doctoral dissertation research project will use the giant tortoise, an emblematic species and contested symbol of the archipelago, as a lens through which to explore changing relations among science, nature, and society. The doctoral student conducting this project will position the tortoise at the center of debate among these stakeholders by exploring answers to the following questions: (1) How does the giant tortoise's history reflect changing human interactions with and valuations of nature? (2) How do different valuations of the giant tortoise today reflect competing designs for the future of the islands? (3) How are tortoises and their relations with people and the environment being remade by recent shifts in science and conservation? Archival and ethnographic methods will be used to address these questions, including research at natural history museums, surveys and in-depth interviews across stakeholder groups in the Galapagos, and participant observation of evolutionary and ecological tortoise science and conservation programs.This project takes a trans-disciplinary approach to understanding the complex entanglements of nature, society, and science at the heart of debates about sustainability and environmental management. Although sustainability and participatory environmental management are popular policy goals, their realization has often remained elusive. This project will contribute important theoretical insights for understanding the challenges of achieving sustainability in the context of increasing development pressure and conflict that threatens iconic endangered species and preservation sites around the world. Through dissemination to academics, Galapagos conservation officials, and local communities, project findings will have a potential impact on how conservation and development policies are formulated in the Galapagos. As a Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement award, this award also will provide support to enable a promising student to establish a strong independent research career.
近年来,旅游业、移民和入侵物种的迅速增加,使当地保护与发展之间的紧张关系升级为全球层面的紧张关系,2007年,加拉帕戈斯群岛被联合国列入“濒危”世界遗产名录。许多政治和环境领导人已经为这些岛屿制定了新的愿景,希望通过关注参与式环境管理来改写过去将原始自然与人类分开的政策。然而,解决这一危机的努力必须在广泛的利益相关者之间进行谈判,这些利益相关者有不同的观点和利益,包括当地居民、环保主义者、科学家、游客和旅游业。在加拉帕戈斯群岛危机时刻的背景下,这个博士论文研究项目将使用巨型乌龟,一个象征性的物种和群岛的争议象征,作为一个镜头,通过它来探索科学,自然和社会之间不断变化的关系。主持该项目的博士生将通过探索以下问题的答案,将乌龟置于这些利益相关者辩论的中心:(1)巨龟的历史如何反映人类与自然的互动和价值的变化?(2)今天对巨龟的不同估价如何反映了对岛屿未来的竞争设计?(3)最近科学和保护的转变如何重塑乌龟及其与人类和环境的关系?档案和人种学方法将用于解决这些问题,包括在自然历史博物馆进行研究,在加拉帕戈斯群岛的利益相关者群体中进行调查和深入访谈,以及参与观察乌龟的进化和生态科学和保护计划。该项目采用跨学科的方法来理解自然、社会和科学之间复杂的纠缠,这是关于可持续发展和环境管理的辩论的核心。虽然可持续性和参与性环境管理是普遍的政策目标,但它们的实现往往仍然难以实现。该项目将为理解在日益增长的发展压力和冲突威胁着世界各地标志性濒危物种和保护地点的背景下实现可持续发展所面临的挑战提供重要的理论见解。通过向学术界、加拉帕戈斯群岛保护官员和当地社区传播,项目结果将对如何制定加拉帕戈斯群岛的保护和发展政策产生潜在影响。作为博士论文研究改进奖,该奖项还将提供支持,使有前途的学生建立一个强大的独立研究生涯。
