Study of indigenous knowledge on environmental sustainability of Mamasani nomadic tribes

Introduction:

 Knowledge is the cornerstone of development; Indigenous knowledge is a part of the national capital of any ethnic group, which includes their local beliefs, values ​​and consciousness, and is the result of centuries of trial and error in the natural and social environment, which has been inherited from generation to generation. Building indigenous capacities is a vital aspect of sustainable development. In recent years, the use of advanced technologies has caused environmental problems and economic crises in the production process; In this regard, knowledge of indigenous knowledge and traditional methods of production and knowledge of current knowledge will play a key role in achieving sustainable development indicators.

Purpose of the research:

 The general purpose of this study is to introduce the indigenous knowledge of the nomadic tribes of Mamasani tribe in activities such as rangeland management and how the nomads use the "environment" from the perspective; Nomadic housing and settlements, processing of non-dairy products, traditional veterinary medicine and methods of controlling livestock pests and diseases.

Methodology :

The present survey research is the result of an extensive study that has been carried out with a qualitative approach and using a variety of techniques including direct observation, in-depth interviews and participatory observation of a small part of the complex systems of indigenous knowledge of nomadic tribes Mamasani ( Depict nomadic housing, non-dairy and indigenous veterinary products).Geographical area of research The nomadic tribes of Fars province in the form of groups consisting of three large Qashqai, Khamseh, Mamasani and eight independent tribes. The geographical territory of the present study is the Mamasani tribes. At present, Illar Mamasani includes 4 tribes: Javid (Javi), Rostam, Bekesh and Ziari enemy.

Results and discussion :

The research findings show that the indigenous knowledge of nomads through grazing management has led to the sustainability of rangeland plants, which will lead to the preservation of the environment and ultimately lead to sustainable development. One of their techniques for regenerating pastures is to first use low quality downstream pastures for livestock and then allow them to consume upstream pastures. Also, the nomadic housing called Siah-Chador (Behun), which borrows all its parts and components from nature and its shape and structure are compatible with nature, plays an important role in sustainable development due to local factors.

Conclusion:

 Finally, many methods Indigenous veterinary medicine can be considered as a biotechnology that is less dangerous than synthetic-commercial drugs, which include "in vitro" and "in vitro" methods.
