Накратко на български
Селските планински райони в Южна Испания се изследват, за да се разбере как изоставянето им влияе върху природата и местните традиции. Това помага да се открият начини за опазване на биоразнообразието и подобряване на благосъстоянието и равенството между половете.

Social-ecological pathways and gender perspectives for future conservation of biocultural mountain agro-ecosystems
SCALABLE addressed the issue of how rural abandonment impact on biocultural diversity that simultaneously support the provision of multiple ecosystem services and sustain the well-being of local communities. SCALABLE is focused on understanding how cultural context and biological diversity can generate sustainability landscape management. SCALABLE builds over traditional knowledge to identify strategies for the future conservation of biocultural diversity. The overall objectives were to: i) explore drivers of change jeopardizing biocultural practices, ecosystem services and local’s well-being in agricultural mountain areas in Southern Spain; ii) evaluate and map biocultural practices and the ecosystem services provided developed by local communities for the conservation of landscapes, by using a gender perspective; iii) identify future pathways to secure the maintenance of local well-being and the conservation of biocultural landscapes to foster gender equity and landscape sustainability.

Цел на проекта
Every landscape on Earth is influenced to some degree by people, and in turn, societies and cultures are shaped by landscapes. Biocultural diversity is the notion that biological and cultural diversity are dependent on each other, and that biological diversity is managed, conserved, and created by different cultural groups. Agricultural landscapes are visibly shaped by human practices, and in these areas the relationship between nature and culture runs deep, where everyday practices and traditions have coevolved with the environment over millennia. This is especially true in Mediterranean agricultural landscapes where the traditional management of the land have endured over millennia. However, these landscapes depend on human interventions and currently are threatened by their abandonment, driving by migration to more urban areas, intensification processes, or aging of population, having a direct impact on the human well-being of local communities. In this project, I propose an interdisciplinary methodology to identify how gender equity can promote pathways for future conservation of mountain agricultural in the biocultural regions of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in South of Spain. To this end, I will first (1) evaluate current and future biocultural practices developed by local communities in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. Then (2) I will map biocultural practices as elements for conservation of landscapes and the ecosystem services provided using a gender perspective. Finally (3), based on participatory approaches, I will identify future pathways to secure the maintenance of local well-being and the conservation of biocultural landscapes to foster gender equity and landscape sustainability. By considering traditional ecological knowledge, perspectives and needs, the project will inherently address broader societal issues such as gender and environmental justice, with the last goal to support future development of rural areas in south of Spain.
