Book Description
The re-emerging field of ethnoecology offers a promising way to document and analyze human-environment interactions. Case studies by international experts explore the varied views of scholars on the human dimension of conservation and the different views of local peoples regarding their own environments. Filled with peoples' voices from North and South America, Africa, and Asia, these cases cover a range of issues: natural resource conservation and sustainable development, the relationship between local knowledge and biodiversity, the role of the commons in development, and the importance of diversity and equity in environmental management. Ethnoecology: Situated Knowledge/Located Lives is intended for a wide range of specialists not only in social and natural sciences but also in agricultural studies. It conveys the overriding importance of this powerful methodological approach in providing insiders' perspectives on their environments and how they manage them.

Book Description
All Rights Reserved Copyright Registration Number / Date: TX0009385665 / 2024-03-01 Library of Congress Control Number: 2023923998 The Second Book for Mr. Tyler Pounds "Integrated Human-Nature Relations". The "School of Integrated Human-Nature Relations" combines the fields of Anthropology, Wildlife Biology (Botany, Ecology, Zoology) into a cohesive integrated format. The school (and thus this book) delves into the direct links and relationships that humans have with nature. Exploring the direct links and relationships that humans have with nature is a critical first step on solving the worlds "biodiversity crisis". This book explores how it is possible to list all of wildlife & biodiversity as either Tangible/Intangible/Natural Cultural Heritage through "archival retrievals". This book additionally explores how Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) Systems could be proven through the use of "archival retrievals". For the first paper (Traditional Ecological Knowledge of the Shawnee and Choctaw Tribes-Traditional Knowledge of Turkey Food Ways and Corn: An Ethnohistory of the Agriculture-Wildlife Interface in Native North America), I examine the Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) existing among the Shawnee and Choctaw Tribes. Both the Shawnee and Choctaw used their knowledge to grow corn, distribute corn, prepare corn for ceremonies, as well as religious and philosophical beliefs about corn. I provide information about turkey food ways, as well as how the tribes utilized the turkey. From the few sources gathered on how the turkey was utilized overall, they were not just used for food, they were also used for ceremonial purposes and for traditional regalia. The second paper: Explanation of how Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS), Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), Form the Basis of Ethno-Ecology and it's use in Indigenous Communities explains the intricate connections between "Indigenous Community Conservation" & Indigenous Ways of Knowing (IWOK). The second paper also delves into how the field(s) of Ecological Anthropology and Ethnobiology were formed from a historical perspective. It should be known that Indigenous People's hold "compartmentalized/integrated biological knowledge" that is held within their respective culture(s). This is explained further and can be shown in the "Afterword" section of this book. This book is filled with beautiful full-page portrait illustrations, showcasing Native American natural history. I hope my readers enjoy!

Book Description
This book examines the process of collecting traditional environmental knowledge while using a "participatory action" or "community-based" approach. It looks at the problems associated with documenting traditional knowledge - problems that are shared by researchers around the world - and it explores some of the means by which traditional knowledge can be integrated with Western science to improve methods of natural resource management. Includes the Dene of the Mackenzie Valley, Northwest Territories, and the Inuit of Sanikiluaq, Belcher Islands

Ethnozoology
Author: Romulo Romeu Nobrega Alves
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0128099143
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 554
Book Description
Ethnozoology: Animals In Our Lives represents the first book about this discipline, providing a discussion on key themes on human-animal interactions and their implications, along with recent major advances in research. Humans share the world with a bewildering variety of other animals, and have interacted with them in different ways. This variety of interactions (both past and present) is investigated through ethnozoology, which is a hybrid discipline structured with elements from both the natural and social sciences, as it seeks to understand how humans have perceived and interacted with faunal resources throughout history. In a broader context, ethnozoology, and its companion discipline, ethnobotany, form part of the larger body of the science of ethnobiology. In recent years, the importance of ethnozoological/ethnobiological studies has increasingly been recognized, unsurprisingly given the strong human influence on biodiversity. From the perspective of ethnozoology, the book addresses all aspects of human connection, animals and health, from its use in traditional medicine, to bioprospecting derivatives of fauna for pharmaceuticals, with expert contributions from leading researchers in the field. - Draws on editors' and contributors' extensive research, experience and studies covering ethnozoology and ethnobiology - Covers all aspects of human-animal interaction through the lens of this emerging discipline, with coverage of both domestic and wild animal topics - Presents topics of great interest to a variety of researchers including those in wildlife/conservation (biologists, ecologists, conservationists) and domestic-related disciplines (psychologists, sociologists)

Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Natural Resource Management
Author: Charles R. Menzies
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 0803207352
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Natural Resource Management examines how traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) is taught and practiced today among Native communities. Of special interest is the complex relationship between indigenous ecological practices and other ways of interacting with the environment, particularly regional and national programs of natural resource management. Focusing primarily on the northwest coast of North America, scholars look at the challenges and opportunities confronting the local practice of indigenous ecological knowledge in a range of communities, including the Tsimshian, the Nisga’a, the Tlingit, the Gitksan, the Kwagult, the Sto:lo, and the northern Dene in the Yukon. The experts consider how traditional knowledge is taught and learned and address the cultural importance of different subsistence practices using natural elements such as seaweed (Gitga’a), pine mushrooms (Tsimshian), and salmon (Tlingit). Several contributors discuss the extent to which national and regional programs of resource management need to include models of TEK in their planning and execution. This volume highlights the different ways of seeing and engaging with the natural world and underscores the need to acknowledge and honor the ways that indigenous peoples have done so for generations.

Landscape Ethnoecology
Author: Leslie Main Johnson
Publisher: Berghahn Books
ISBN: 0857456326
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
Although anthropologists and cultural geographers have explored "place" in various senses, little cross-cultural examination of "kinds of place," or ecotopes, has been presented from an ethno-ecological perspective. In this volume, indigenous and local understandings of landscape are investigated in order to better understand how human communities relate to their terrestrial and aquatic resources. The contributors go beyond the traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) literature and offer valuable insights on ecology and on land and resources management, emphasizing the perception of landscape above the level of species and their folk classification. Focusing on the ways traditional people perceive and manage land and biotic resources within diverse regional and cultural settings, the contributors address theoretical issues and present case studies from North America, Mexico, Amazonia, tropical Asia, Africa and Europe.
