{"product_id":"sustainable-knowledge-systems-and-resource-stewardship-von-john-studley","title":"Sustainable knowledge systems and resource stewardship","description":"\u003cp\u003ePolicy-makers, project planners and development organisations are becoming convinced that the  failure of the new socio-ecologically sensitive strategies co-opted by ''professional'' forestry could be better addressed by indigenous forestry. They believe  that indigenous forestry might assist with the  development of successful forestry projects that are ecologically sustainable and socio-politically equitable. In order, however, to learn from indigenous forestry systems, the acculturation of foresters in the vernacular culture of the forest users appears to  be an essential process for understanding and intervening in a local forest management complex. Acculturation entails not only more attention to the immaterial cultural realm, but an understanding of multiple resource stewardship, local ways of  knowing and perceiving, local forest values and ''practices  of care''.  The main outcomes of this study include the  cognitive mapping of forest values among ''Tibetan minority nationalities'' in Eastern Kham, their spatial distribution and the coincidence of changes in  forest values with cultural or biophysical phenomena.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783843382090\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIn search of ethno-forestry paradigms for the indigenous peoples of the Eastern Kham\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783843382090","offer_id":39470090780765,"sku":"9783843382090","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/a1e1c1ed-1e3a-4915-a4de-2af2b55005e8.jpg?v=1759120775","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/sustainable-knowledge-systems-and-resource-stewardship-von-john-studley","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
