Indigenous knowledge that embraces ornithology takes in whole
social dimensions that are inter-linked with environmental ethos,
conservation and management for sustainability. In contrast,
western approaches have tended to reduce knowledge to elemental and
material references. This book looks at the significance of
indigenous knowledge of birds and their cultural significance, and
how these can assist in framing research methods of western
scientists working in related areas. As well as its knowledge base,
this book provides practical advice for professionals in
conservation and anthropology by demonstrating the relationship
between mutual respect, local participation and the building of
partnerships for the resolution of joint problems. It identifies
techniques that can be transferred to different regions,
environments and collections, as well as practices suitable for
investigation, adaptation and improvement of knowledge exchange and
collection in ornithology. The authors take anthropologists and
biologists who have been trained in, and largely continue to
practise from, a western reductionist approach, along another path
- one that presents ornithological knowledge from alternative
perspectives, which can enrich the more common approaches to
ecological and other studies as well as plans of management for
conservation.
