| Summary: | There are various reasons to explain the practices that result in preserving certain parts of the environment. But these reasons are often very different from those brought up by the international scientific organisms aiming to preserve the nature.In this article, I will describe the practices I have had the opportunity to observe in the 1970’s within a central Timor population, based in the Indonesian part of the island.This population lives in Abis, a bunag-speaking village.The practices are twofold:Those concerning the organization of the territory – divided between the farming land and the grazing land – and their associated rules; especially aiming to protect the useful plants in burnt land.Those concerning the vegetation that is forbidden to trimming and whose status is much more ambiguous. Is the vegetation protected for itself or in view to protect the altars, which have a true meaning in society? |
