  2. Can traditional ecological knowledge and wilderness benefit one another?

    Traditional ecological knowledge is the system of experiential knowledge gained by continual observation and transmitted among members of a community.

  4. String of turquoise: The future of Sacred Mountain Peaks in the southwest U.S.

    The Southwest is the birthplace of wilderness policy in the United States, yet the unique ecological environments of its peaks, cordilleras, and ranges that dot the high desert remain only partially protected. Some areas are relatively secure, yet midcentury Federal policy responded to multiple development pressures, from ski basins to roads, that sliced these peaks...

    Do qualitative classifications of ecological conditions for harvesting culturally important forest plants correspond to quantitative differences among sites? To address this question, we blended scientific methods (SEK) and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) to identify conditions on sites considered good, marginal, or poor for harvesting the leaves of a plant (...
