quotation or excerpt
In Sacred Ecology, Fikret Berkes defines traditional ecological knowledge as “the study of traditional ecological knowledge begins with the study of species identifications and classification (ethnobiology) and proceeds to considerations of peoples’ understandings of ecological processes and their relationships with the environment (human ecology).” To Berkes, traditional ecological knowledge implies three main components: local-based knowledge of the environment, practices such as agriculture, and beliefs defining people’s interactions with nature. Fikret Berkes, 1999. Sacred Ecology: Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Resource Management. Philadelphia, PA: Taylor & Francis. 6.
