The most comprehensive collection of papers in the field to date, Ethnobiology and Biocultural Diversity presents state-of-the-art research and commentary from more than 50 of the world’s leading ethnobiologists. Covering a wide range of ecosystems and world regions, the papers center on global change and the relationships among traditional knowledge, biological diversity and cultural diversity.
Specific themes include the acquisition, persistence and loss of traditional ecological knowledge; ethnobiology and benefits sharing; ethnobiological classification; medical ethnobotany; ethno-entomology; ethnobiology and natural resource management; and agriculture and traditional knowledge.
The book is edited by John Stepp and Felice Wyndham of UGA’s anthropology department and Rebecca K. Zarger, who conducts research in Belize.
The volume will be of interest to scholars in anthropology, ecology and related fields and also to professionals in conservation and indigenous rights organizations.
