Plants and animals in the life of the Kuna

By Jorge Ventocilla

Subjects: Cuna Indians, Environmental protection, Ethnobiology, Panama

Description: "More than an account of Kuna ecology, this book argues for a positive environmental policy. The authors urge the Kuna to consider the potential ecological hazards of pursuing certain business interests, and remind their readers of the reliable, though delicate, relationship that exists between human society and the natural world"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
