From an anthropological perspective, this book provides an introduction into the complex subject of conservation policies that cannot be addressed without recognising the encompassing relationship between discursive, political, economic, social and ecological facets. By facing these interdependencies across global, national and local dynamics, it draws on an ethnographic case study among Maya-Q'eqchi' communities living in the margins of protected areas in Guatemala. In documenting the cultural aspects of landscape, the study explores the coherence of diverse expressions of indigenous knowledge. It intends to remind of cultural values and beliefs closely tied to subsistence activities and ritual practices that define local perceptions of the natural environment. The basic idea is to illustrate that there are different ways of knowing and reasoning, seeing and endowing the world with meaning, which include visible material and invisible interpretative understandings. These tend to be underestimated issues in international debates and may provide an alternative approach upon which conservation initiatives responsive to the needs of the humans involved should be based on.Göttinger Beiträge zur Ethnologie ;Band 2.AnthropologyEthnoscienceBiodiversity conservationAnthropology.Ethnoscience.Biodiversity conservation.333.9516Maass Petra800871NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910725057103321Cultural context of biodiversity conservation3393951UNINA01006nam0 22002771i 450 VAN0001247420240806100252.57515-666-2793-120030206d1999 |0itac50 baengUS|||| |||||Effective legal writingfor law studentsGertrude Block5. edNew YorkFoundation press1999XXIII, 315 p.22 cm.Lingua ingleseTerminologia giuridicaVANC005217FIUSNew YorkVANL000011BlockGertrudeVANV009281729678FoundationVANV109455650ITSOL20240906RICABIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI GIURISPRUDENZAIT-CE0105VAN00VAN00012474BIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI GIURISPRUDENZA00CONS XXIII.Eb.7 00 20507 20030206 Effective legal writing1430092UNICAMPANIA
