This book explores the interactions of local inhabitants and
environmental systems in the Protected Natural Areas of Mexico. Its
goal is to help understand how social groups contextualize
ecological knowledge, how human activities contribute to modifying
the environmental matrix, how cultural and economic aspects
influence the use, management and conservation of their ecological
environment, and how social phenomena are to be viewed against the
backdrop of ecological knowledge. The book reviews the
epistemological and historical bases of the socio-ecological
relationship, and addresses the evolution of human-natural systems.
From a methodological standpoint, it assesses the tools required
for the integration of "human" and "natural" dimensions in the
management of the environmental matrix. Further, in the case
studies section, it reviews valuable recent experiences concerning
the retro-interactions of local inhabitants with their
environmental matrix. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable
asset for researchers and professionals all over the world,
especially those working in Latin American countries.
