Biocultural Heritage and Rewilding Mountainous Landscapes
View through CrossRef
Abstract
This chapter explores the notion of biocultural heritage as expressed in recent policy documents and academic literature, and compares it with what occurs in the field. The analysis is located in the mountainous rewilding landscape of the Côa Valley in northeastern Portugal. Through ethnographic fieldwork, this chapter recounts the ways that human-environment relations stretch back to deep time. In the geographic specificity of a mountainous landscape, the rewilding initiative shines a light on how agricultural practices, rural identities, and rock art are bound together, yet co-exist in tension. Continuous engagement between rewilding managers and local communities is required to work towards a shared vision for biocultural heritage futures.
