Hunting Practices of the Wachiperi: Demystifying Indigenous Environmental Behavior

By Rodolfo Tello

Book Overview

What makes indigenous peoples conserve or degrade biodiversity? This book addresses this question in a comprehensive yet accessible manner. In a context where indigenous ways of life can be significantly influenced by policies and practices guided by preconceived notions based on flawed assumptions, this book fills a critical gap in current knowledge about the changing environmental behavior of indigenous peoples, particularly in light of widespread phenomena such as cultural change, market dynamics, and greater diversification of livelihoods. The flexible way of understanding the relationship between indigenous peoples and tropical biodiversity presented in this book can greatly benefit both people and the environment.
