These priorities stand in stark contrast to colonial and contemporary exploitation of Amazonia by outside interests. With essays from environmental scientists, botanists, and anthropologists, this volume explores the various effects of human development on Amazonia. The contributors argue that by protecting and drawing on local knowledge and values, further environmental ruin can be avoided.Biology and Resource Management SeriesAmazon River Region -- Environmental conditionsEnvironmental degradation -- Amazon River RegionIndians of South America -- Ethnobotany -- Amazon River RegionIndigenous peoples -- Ecology -- Amazon River RegionNature -- Effect of human beings on -- Amazon River RegionSoil degradation -- Amazon River RegionTraditional ecological knowledge -- Amazon River RegionAnthropologyHILCCSocial SciencesHILCCAnthropogeography & Human EcologyHILCCAmazon River Region -- Environmental conditions.Environmental degradation -- Amazon River Region.Indians of South America -- Ethnobotany -- Amazon River Region.Indigenous peoples -- Ecology -- Amazon River Region.Nature -- Effect of human beings on -- Amazon River Region.Soil degradation -- Amazon River Region.Traditional ecological knowledge -- Amazon River Region.AnthropologySocial SciencesAnthropogeography & Human Ecology304.209811304.209811Balick Michael, Posey Darrell, DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910818023003321Human Impacts on Amazonia4060302UNINA
