Abstract

Non-technical summary Climate change threatens tropical forests, ecosystem services, and indigenous peoples. The effects of climate change will force the San Blas Island communities of the indigenous Guna people to relocate to one of the most extensive, intact forests in Panama. In this paper, we argue that the impacts of climate change, and the proposed resettlement, will synergistically affect the jaguar. As apex predators, jaguars are sensitive to landscape change and require intact forests with ample prey to survive. Proactively planning for the intrinsically related issues of climate change, human displacement, and jaguar conservation is a complex but essential management task. Technical summary Tropical rainforest, coastal, and island communities are on the front line of increasing temperatures and sea-level rise associated with climate change. Future impacts on the interconnectedness of biological and cultural diversity (biocultural heritage) remain unknown. We review the interplay between the impacts of climate change and the displacement of the indigenous Guna people from the San Blas Islands, the relocation back to their mainland territory, and the implications for jaguar persistence. We highlight one of the most significant challenges to using resettlement as an adaptive strategy to climate change, securing a location where the Guna livelihoods, traditions, and culture may continue without significant change while protecting ecosystem services (e.g. biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and water). We posit that developing management plans that strive to meet social needs without sacrificing environmental principles will meet these objectives. Social media summary A biocultural approach increases adaptive capacity for ecological and human social systems threatened by climate change.

地球变暖中土著人民的流离失所和美洲豹的生存
非技术性摘要气候变化威胁着热带森林、生态系统服务和土著人民。气候变化的影响将迫使土著古纳人的圣布拉斯岛社区迁移到巴拿马最广阔、最完整的森林之一。在本文中,我们认为气候变化的影响和拟议的重新安置将协同影响美洲豹。作为顶级捕食者,美洲豹对景观变化很敏感,需要有充足猎物的完整森林才能生存。积极规划气候变化、人类流离失所和美洲豹保护等本质相关的问题是一项复杂但必不可少的管理任务。技术摘要热带雨林、沿海和岛屿社区处于与气候变化相关的气温上升和海平面上升的前线。未来对生物多样性和文化多样性(生物文化遗产)相互联系的影响仍然未知。我们回顾了气候变化的影响与土著古纳人从圣布拉斯群岛流离失所、迁移回大陆以及对美洲豹生存的影响之间的相互作用。我们强调了将重新安置作为应对气候变化的适应性战略的最重大挑战之一,确保古纳人的生计、传统和文化在没有重大变化的情况下继续存在,同时保护生态系统服务(如生物多样性、碳固存和水)。我们认为,在不牺牲环境原则的情况下,制定努力满足社会需求的管理计划将达到这些目标。社交媒体摘要生物文化方法提高了对受气候变化威胁的生态和人类社会系统的适应能力。
