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. 410 0$aGöttinger Beiträge zur Ethnologie ;$vvolume 2. 606 $aBiodiversity conservation$zGuatemala 606 $aBiodiversity conservation$xSocial aspects$zGuatemala 606 $aKekchi Indians$xScience 606 $aEthnoscience$zGuatemala 606 $aEarth & Environmental Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aEcology$2HILCC 610 $abiodiversity 610 $aanthropology 610 $aGuatemala 610 $aindigenous population 610 $aQ'eqchi' 610 $aTraditional knowledge 615 0$aBiodiversity conservation 615 0$aBiodiversity conservation$xSocial aspects 615 0$aKekchi Indians$xScience. 615 0$aEthnoscience 615 7$aEarth & Environmental Sciences 615 7$aEcology 676 $a333.9516097281 700 $aMaass$b Petra$0800871 801 0$bTOZ 801 1$bTOZ 801 2$bUKMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910130827303321 996 $aThe cultural context of biodiversity conservation$91986054 997 $aUNINA
