Local perceptions of protected areas are important for conservation and the sustainability of protected areas. We undertook qualitative and ethnographic fieldwork to explore relationships between people and protected areas in the Blouberg mountain range, South Africa. The history of land use and current relationships with protected areas reveal legacies of marginalisation and immiseration, giving credence to a theory of traumatic nature. The impacts of traumatic nature manifest themselves in local discourses and narratives of nature, protected areas and conservation.

保护区的治理、参与和当地认知：布劳伯格山脉的创伤性自然消退

当地对保护区的看法对于保护区的保护和可持续性很重要。我们进行了定性和人种学实地考察，以探索南非布劳伯格山脉中人与保护区之间的关系。土地利用的历史和当前与保护区的关系揭示了边缘化和贫困化的遗留问题，使创伤性自然理论成为可信的。创伤性自然的影响体现在对自然、保护区和保护的当地话语和叙述中。
