Abstract:
|
"Landscape and land-use change in the Amazon are most commonly addressed by the standard tools of land-cover change research: remote sensing, demographic methods, and political ecology approaches. These methodologies are used to construct a description of the causes and effects of landuse transitions at broad scales. In contrast, studies that incorporate a very specific, human scale individuals memories of the land have already proven useful for correcting this picture in other regions. Here I evaluate the use of oral histories with ribereno residents of the Muyuy-Panguana archipelago in the Peruvian Amazon, with the primary goal of integrating this information into ecosystem studies."
