Local ecological knowledge (LEK) has been found to be one of the main bridges to
manage biocultural diversity. We analyzed the factors affecting LEK maintenance
and transmission in a Mediterranean watershed. We used a mixed methods approach
to evaluate the agricultural LEK in three different dimensions: biological, soil
and water management, and forecasting. We found that the main factors for its
maintenance were the respondent's time living in the area and the social
relationships established among farmers, which involved partner collaboration and
farmer information exchanges. Protected areas also played a key role for
maintaining the LEK associated with soil and water management. Finally, we found
that outmigration and mechanization were the most important indirect drivers of
change underlying LEK erosion. We suggest that environmental policies should
focus on promoting this experiential knowledge, considering both
intergenerational renewal and the gendered aspects of this knowledge.
