Building up a framework for High Asia´s pastoralists
" There is not any marginal land; marginality we make ourselves with our decissions and policies "
Why a project like this?
To fight against food insecurity and malnutrition, economic and cultural poverty and those adverse consequences of globalization in relation to climatic change and loss of biocultural diversity in the marginalized Asia´s high-mountain areas. What is the WYHA Project? The WYHA project is the result of the application of an innovative approach inspired in public and engaged anthropology, in combination to ecology and indigenous peoples' stewardship over cultural and natural heritage. |
Where WYHA Project will be implemented?
WHYA project is to be implemented on the magnificent scenery of High Asia, on high-mountain areas of Russia, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal, and Bhutan. What is our main indigenous partnership? In this task, we were expressly supported by PACA (Pastoralists Assembly of Central Asia) - www.pastoralism.net - at the closing session of the I Gathering of Central Asian Pastoralists held in Hustai National Park (Mongolia): 24 - 30 July, 2015. |
