This book explores how the landscapes in indigenous territories are rapidly changing due to increased global industrial demand. This deforestation and urbanization have isolated the indigenous people from practicing 'traditional ways of life.' Portrayed in this book is the indigenous people's perspective of their indigenous knowledge (IK) about the environment and why losing IK is a threat to humans, wildlife, and nature.

Features: * Bridges the fractured space between science and nature. * Documents the perspectives of indigenous peoples about their ancestral knowledge. * Provides ethnographic qualitative comparative case studies of forestdwelling indigenous peoples over a 19year period. * Covers largely remote indigenous territories of ten tropical countries in the Global South. * Provides evidencebased stories examining indigenous knowledge's role in the tropics in preserving diverse landscapes and providing naturebased solutions.
