Darrell A. Posey, who died in 2001, was internationally known for
his support of indigenous peoples and their natural habitats, and
particularly for his pioneering work with the Kayapo people of
Brazil. He was an organiser of the First International Congress of
Ethnobiology which resulted in the Declaration of Belem: the first
instance of an international scientific organisation recognizing an
obligation to compensate native peoples for use of their knowledge
and biological resources. In 1993, Posey received the United
Nations Global 500 Award for Outstanding Achievement in Service to
the Environment. Indigenous Knowledge and Ethics presents seventeen
of his articles on the topics of environment, indigenous knowledge
and intellectual property rights. Demonstrating his belief in the
validity of indigenous knowledge systems, and his insistence that
indigenous rights must be recognised and protected, it is an ideal
introduction to his thought and work.
