“For me, this is a multi-species study. Mongolian herders rely on their knowledge of other species to make decisions about what they need to do,” Post said. “We’ve long worked separately, but American and European scientists need to come to recognize that for many there is no division between arts and sciences. The social-ecological model that is used to understand the relationships between people and their environments has to include a clearer place for culture.”
Pijanowski said that in addition to the social scientists included on the team, Mongolian herders will be active participants in gathering and analyzing data on their own practices.
“We’re asking herders to be co-investigators, helping form hypotheses and designing field experiments to test them,” he said. “We’re excited about bringing together these people and disciplines to look at these issues in new ways, using a co-production of knowledge approach.”
The study will ultimately help the researchers learn more about how people can better manage natural resources so they are available to future generations.
“Grasslands are some of the most productive for humans but the least protected of all the biomes,” Pijanowski said. “This is vital research intended to reverse current trends we see in decreasing grassland productivity around the world.”
