The role of ethnoscience in the build-up of ethnoconservation as a new approach to nature conservation in the tropics by Antonio Carlos Diegues

“…This paper aims to describe the main features of a new approach in nature conservation in the Tropics and to analyse the important role of ethnoscience in this process, taking Brazil as a case study.It begins with a critique of the hegemonic model for nature conservation in which traditional communities living in the areas transformed into non-use protected areas have been displaced or too severely hindered to continue with their traditional way of life based on small-scale agriculture, fishing, forest harvesting and hunting. The role of big international conservation NGOs in spreading this hegemonic approach in developing countries is also analysed.This model is being set-up in many tropical countries. …”
