Abstract "Sacred Ecology examines knowledge held by Indigenous peoples and local communities around the world and asks how we can learn from this body of knowledge and practice. Berkes explores the importance of Indigenous ways of knowing as a complement to ecology and environmental science, and its cultural and political significance for traditional peoples themselves. With updates of relevant web links and over 300 new references, the Fifth Edition provides increased voice for Indigenous authors and contains much new material, including a new chapter"-- Provided by publisher.
