Abstract
La degradación de los recursos naturales en todo el mundo es motivo de gran preocupación desde hace muchos años. Esta situación ha impulsado a los gobiernos a tomar medidas para proteger la naturaleza. Senegal, afectado por la degradación de los recursos naturales, ha suscrito varios convenios internacionales, de ahí la existencia de varias áreas protegidas en el país. En la Baja Casamance, los recursos naturales, sobre todo en la región costera, cumplen importantes funciones sociales, culturales y económicas para las poblaciones locales. Sin embargo, están expuestos a varias formas de degradación, en particular la degradación de la calidad de los suelos, el empobrecimiento de la biodiversidad y el deterioro de los valores del patrimonio cultural y de la belleza de su naturaleza. Dicha situación explica la creación de áreas protegidas en varias zonas de la región y justifica, en parte, la elección del Área del Patrimonio Autóctono Comunitario Kawawana, en el municipio de Mangagoulack. La gobernanza de dichas áreas protegidas se plantea en un contexto de cambio climático en el que confluyen conflictos de intereses y métodos tradicionales y modernos de gestión de los recursos naturales. ¿Cuál es la implicación de los conocimientos locales y las poblaciones indígenas en esta gobernanza? Las investigaciones etnográficas (grupos focales, guías de entrevistas, cuestionarios) realizadas en los territorios de los pueblos del APAC Kawawana han permitido el análisis de la gobernanza y los distintos métodos de gestión aplicados en dicha APAC.
The degradation of natural resources at the planetary has been very worrying for many years. States are therefore encouraged to watch over the protection of nature. Senegal, concerned by the degradation of natural resources, is committed to several international conventions, hence the existence today of several protected areas in the country. In Basse-Casamance, natural resources, especially in the coastal region, fulfill important social, cultural and economic functions for local populations. However, they are exposed to several forms of degradation, in particular a decline in the quality of the soil, an impoverishment of biodiversity and an alteration of the values of the cultural heritage and the natural beauties. This situation explains the creation of protected areas in several areas of the region and justifies, in part, the choice of the local community heritage area, Kawawana in the municipality of Mangagoulack. The question of the governance of these protected areas therefore arises in a context of climate change where conflicts of interest, traditional and modern management methods of natural resources are mixed. So what about the involvement of local knowledge and local populations in this governance? The ethnographic surveys (focus group, interview guides, and questionnaires) carried out in the village areas of the Kawawana allowed us to analyze the governance as well as the different management methods implemented in this protected area.
