Focusing on the ecological knowledge of Wapishana hunters, this monograph integrates ethnographic insights with ecological science based on extensive fieldwork in Guyana from 1998 to 2000. It contextualizes the Wapishana's subsistence and cultural practices within the broader political ecology shaped by economic liberalization and the impact of extractive industries. The author advocates for conservation and development strategies that prioritize the expertise and interests of indigenous communities as vital custodians of biodiversity.
