FROM PORTRAIT TO LANDSCAPE: USING PHOTOGRAPHS TO ACCESS LOCAL PERCEPTIONS OF ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE IN EASTERN HONDURAS
The success of local-outsider collaboration in managing biodiverse landscapes depends in large part on how much different groups’ perceptions of environmental change—its trajectory and the urgency of its mitigation—converge. Recent research has questioned whether such convergence exists. This paper examines how dissonance in perception of environmental change might arise from local peoples’ distinctive collective memories of past events, and their conceptualization of time more generally. Research was conducted in eastern Honduras, where Tawahka Amerindians are working with national and international NGOs to manage a new Biosphere Reserve. 70-year old photographs of Tawahka ancestors were used to elicit local views of resource use change. Resultant discussions revealed surprising accounts of local history, and an unexpected view of the role that North Americans play as keepers of the landscape’s past. Findings suggest that closer attention to local notions of long-term environmental change in conservation-and-development initiatives.
Keywords: environmental change, photographs in fieldwork, conservation and development, Tawahka, Honduras, Latin America.
