This study discusses the shift in human-monkey relationships before andafter the passage of the Wildlife Conservation Law, as well as the issue offoundation of Shoushan Natural Park in Chaishan. The researchers approachthis topic from the perspective of the duality of human action in an oppressivestructure, emphasizing their subordinate and principal positions in order, andadopt the point of view that conserving the monkeys is the same as protectingtheir spatial rights, interpreting the intention of a variety of human actions. Thequalitative methods of literature review, environment investigation, participationobservation and in-depth interviews were used. It was found that fruitfarmers were dominant over Chaishan before the passage of the law. A programby the government to purchase Macaca cyclopis monkeys captured bythe farmers did help the farmers. After passage of the law, people lost theirdominance over this area. Macaca cyclopis became a hazard. The farmers’responses were to develop devices to scare the monkeys away, then to makeadvanced decisions including carrying on their cultivation, abandoning theirplanting or transforming to other land uses. In theory, the adjustment of thefarmers was decided by themselves, but many restrictions for the farmers infact remained, such as no land rights, the limits of environmental laws, the intervention of green organizations, and so on. Due to these major differencesbetween the farmers’ expectations and the practical reality of compensation,the farmers presented petitions, protested to the government, fought in thecourts, and engaged in some illegal behaviors to resist the power from theoppressive structure. In the future, the new consideration that initiates a socialcontext could be a possible way to mitigate such conflicts. |
