Book excerpt: 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 Synopsis Ethnoecology by : Virginia D. Nazarea
Download or read book Ethnoecology written by Virginia D. Nazarea and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 Synopsis Ethnozoology by : Romulo Romeu Nobrega Alves
Download or read book Ethnozoology written by Romulo Romeu Nobrega Alves and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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)
Book Synopsis Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Natural Resource Management by : Charles R. Menzies
Download or read book Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Natural Resource Management written by Charles R. Menzies and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Book Synopsis Landscape Ethnoecology by : Leslie Main Johnson
Download or read book Landscape Ethnoecology written by Leslie Main Johnson and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis Indigenous Environmental Knowledge by : John Edington
Download or read book Indigenous Environmental Knowledge written by John Edington and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines comprehensively for the first time, the scope and accuracy of indigenous environmental knowledge. It shows that in some spheres, including agriculture, house design, fuel and water manipulation, the high reputation of local observers is well deserved and often sufficiently insightful to warrant wider imitation. However it also reveals that in certain matters, notably some aspects of health care and wild-species population management, local knowledge systems are conspicuously unsound. Not all the difficulties are of the communities own making, some stem from external factors outside their control. However in either case, remedial measures can be suggested and this book describes, especially for the benefit of practitioners, what steps might be taken in rural communities to improve the quality of life. The possibility of useful transfers of information from local settings to Western ones is not ignored and forms the subject of the book’s final chapter.
Book Synopsis Traditional Ecological Knowledge of Resource Management in Asia by : Suresh Chand Rai
Download or read book Traditional Ecological Knowledge of Resource Management in Asia written by Suresh Chand Rai and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights the different ways of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) practices that conserve natural resources sustainably. Traditional ecological knowledge (TEK), along with synonymous or closely related terms like indigenous knowledge and native science, originates in the literature on international development and adaptive management. Against the backdrop of unprecedented global degradation and reduction in ecosystem services with impacts on human well-being over the last 50 years, there is a growing interest in the role of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) practices and systems of local communities in ensuring the sustainable utilization and management of resources. In this context, this book comprehensively analyzes the important aspects of natural resources in Asia. This book covers a detailed study of the different aspects of natural resources. It is divided into three sections, which deal with varying dimensions of indigenous ecological knowledge of resource management in Asia. The first part reflects upon the concept of traditional ecological knowledge, the second part analyzes the systematic documentation of TEK practices, and the third part deals with policy for governance. This book critically describes and explains the indigenous knowledge about resource management. This book is the ideal text for undergraduate, postgraduate, and research scholars in India and abroad. This book is designed in such a manner that it covers all the aspects of natural resources. It also helps the administrator and policymakers use indigenous knowledge in resource management.
