  • Summary

    This chapter argues that a better understanding of people–place relations and their role in the local reception – and frequent contestation – of today’s supra-national legal orders for biodiversity conservation requires considering the epistemic dimension. This means paying more attention to local knowledge and the epistemic bonds to place it weaves, recognising local cultural-worlds not just as meaning and identity-worlds, but also as knowledge-worlds. It illustrates these arguments with extracts from fishers and farmers governed by Natura 2000 biodiversity laws, showing how local knowledge provides a relevant lens for local assessment of such laws, a process sometimes leading to contestation, sometimes to acceptance, and a process always done together with others. This calls for the creation of these legal orders to not rely exclusively on expert views, instead incorporating local inputs. By adding the epistemic dimension, senses of place can become a more relational, dynamic and plural concept, encompassing the three processes of attachment, meaning-making and knowing.
