Book Description:

While many studies of tropical deforestation neglect the indigenous people of the forests, this book illuminates the insights local people have into conservation of their ecosystems, the effects of habitation on those ecosystems, and the impact of development and natural resource depletion on their lives. The book includes coverage of Central and South America, Africa, the Philippines, Indonesia, and the Indian subcontinent.
