Human Impacts on Amazonia: The Role of Traditional Ecological Knowledge in Conservation and Development (Biology and Resource Management) Book

Human Impacts on Amazonia : Paperback : Columbia University Press : 9780231105897 : 0231105894 : 30 Aug 2006 : From the pre-Columbian era to the present, native Amazonians have shaped the land around them, emphasizing utilization, conservation, and sustainability.
