  • Source-sink dynamics facilitate mammal recovery after unsustainable hunting in a community-managed natural protected area in the Peruvian Amazon

  • Proposed highway in the Peruvian Amazon threatens vulnerable indigenous communities and natural protected areas

    Open AccessBrian M Griffiths, David Dimitrie et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2025Cited by: 1References: 12

    The conservation of biocultural diversity in the Amazon rainforest has become an international priority in the face of global change. Megadevelopment projects threaten conservation efforts and the rights of Indigenous communities to manage their ancestral lands. We examine the potential impacts of one proposed highway development project in the Peruvian Amazon, the Bellavista-El Estrecho Highway, on local and Indigenous communities and natural pr…

  • Predicting animal abundance through local ecological knowledge

    Open AccessFranciany Braga-Pereira, Pedro Mayor et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2024

    Given the ongoing environmental degradation from local to global scales, it is fundamental to develop more efficient means of gathering data on species and ecosystems. Local ecological knowledge, in which local communities can consistently provide information on the status of animal species over time, has been shown to be effective. Several studies demonstrate that data gathered using local ecological knowledge (LEK)‐based methods are comparable …

  • St-Century Stewardship

    Ava Y Goodale, Myron P Gilmore et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Education Research2024Cited by: 2References: 19

    Environmental stewardship education, as a locally oriented concept, benefits from being recast to account for the emergent, multidimensional, and interdisciplinary nature of today's most pressing socio-ecological issues. In an effort to infuse environmental stewardship education with global citizenship, instructional materials on community-based conservation in Peru were delivered to high school students in New York, USA. The purpose of this stud…

  • Sustainable harvest training in a common pool resource setting in the Peruvian Amazon

    Open AccessChelsie L Romulo, Chelsie Romulo et al.ARTICLETrees Forests and People2022

    Many organizations provide sustainable resource management workshops in the Peruvian Amazon. Some teach climbing techniques to communities who harvest wild Mauritia flexuosa palm fruit because most harvest is done by cutting down adult female palms. The objectives of this study were to describe the approaches and identify the factors and conditions linked to adopting sustainable harvesting practices and explain what conditions may be necessary fo…

  • Differential Use of Game Species in an Amazonian Indigenous Community

    Open AccessBrian M Griffiths, Myron P Gilmore et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ethnobiology2022

    Hunting is a key subsistence strategy and source of income and food security for rural communities throughout the world. Hunters often gift game meat to their friends or family in return for reciprocation or other social benefits. We used interviews to assess how hunters in an Amazonian Indigenous community navigate the economic, subsistence, and social aspects of hunting. We found that hunters typically sell the most valuable and preferred speci…

  • Widespread Use of Traditional Techniques by Local People for Hunting the Yellow-Footed Tortoise ( Chelonoidis denticulatus ) Across the Amazon

    Open AccessAline Santos Tavares, Pedro Mayor et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ethnobiology2020

    Understanding the repertoire of hunting techniques used by traditional peoples in tropical forests is crucial for recognizing the role of traditional knowledge in hunting activities, as well as assessing the impact of harvests on game species. We describe the hunting techniques used across Amazonia by Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples for hunting yellow-footed tortoises ( Chelonoidis denticulatus), one of the most consumed species in the biom…

  • The socio-cultural significance of mineral licks to the Maijuna of the Peruvian Amazon

    Open AccessMyron P Gilmore, Brian M Griffiths et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ethnobiology and…2020Cited by: 4References: 29

    BackgroundThe overhunting of wild species is a major threat to biodiversity in the Amazon; yet, managed, sustainable hunting is widely considered part of the solution to conserving wildlife populations. Hunting is both a culturally important activity for Indigenous people and provides an important food source. Mineral licks, a focal point of hunting in Amazonia, are naturally occurring areas in the forest where animals come to obtain essential mi…

  • The ethnoprimatology of the Maijuna of the Peruvian Amazon and implications for primate conservation

    Open AccessCarla Mere Roncal, Mark Bowler et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ethnobiology and…2018Cited by: 6References: 58

    Primates are embedded in the intricate sociocultural system of the community of Sucusari. Better understanding the relationship between primates and people can help to focus conservation efforts on primate species of particularly high sociocultural importance as well as ecological value, such as L. lagotricha. We highly recommend the inclusion of ethnoprimatological studies into primate conservation initiatives to accomplish more effective conser…

  • Participatory Uses of Geospatial Technologies to Leverage Multiple Knowledge Systems within Development Contexts

  • Biocultural Rights

    Open AccessCher Weixia Chen, Myron P Gilmore et al.ARTICLEInternational Indigenous Policy…2015

    This article proposes a new concept of “biocultural rights” that justly reflects a broader intellectual and policy trend to holistically address the protection of Indigenous natural and cultural resources. The concept of biocultural rights combines nature with culture; takes into consideration the past, the present, and the future; and values “special” Indigenous elements that are indispensable to the diversity of our universe. It aims at protect…

  • Subaltern Empowerment in the Geoweb

    Open AccessJason C Young, Myron P Gilmore et al.ARTICLEAntipode2014Cited by: 5References: 35

    Geographers have argued that the emergence of the geospatial web, or geoweb, represents a radical shift away from the state's monopolization of geospatial technologies. Like the public participation geographic information systems (PPGIS) movement before it, the geoweb research agenda has emphasized a desire for empowerment and participatory democracy. However, this research agenda has also inherited a conceptualization of power that emphasizes th…

  • The Spatial Politics of Affect and Emotion in Participatory GIS

    Jason C Young, Myron P Gilmore et al.ARTICLEAnnals of the Association of…2013Cited by: 13References: 39

    Researchers have traditionally used participatory geographic information systems (PGIS) projects to inject indigenous voices into the political sphere as they work for various legal rights. Due to their participatory nature, however, these projects can also have complex effects on the emotional and affective well-being of participating communities. This article examines how the authors' participatory research with the Maijuna people of the Peruvi…

  • The socio-cultural importance of Mauritia flexuosa palm swamps (aguajales) and implications for multi-use management in two Maijuna communities of the Peruvian Amazon

    Open AccessMyron P Gilmore, Michael P Gilmore et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ethnobiology and…2013Cited by: 14References: 17

    Background Fruit from the palm Mauritia flexuosa (aguaje) is harvested throughout the Peruvian Amazon for subsistence and commercial purposes. Recent estimates suggest that residents of Iquitos, the largest city in the region, consume approximately 148.8 metric tons of aguaje fruit per month, the vast majority of which is harvested by felling and killing adult female trees. In this study, we sought to better understand and document the importance…

  • The Use of Participatory Mapping in Ethnobiological Research, Biocultural Conservation, and Community Empowerment

    Open AccessMyron P Gilmore, Michael P Gilmore et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ethnobiology2012

    This paper describes in detail a community-based participatory mapping project that was carried out in collaboration with the Maijuna of the Peruvian Amazon. We use this project as a case study to explore the role that participatory mapping can play in ethnobiological studies and to examine the rich and diverse range of data that this methodology can generate, ultimately shedding light on how indigenous and local communities use, perceive, and in…
