Regional patterns of wild animal hunting in African tropical forests
Wildlife contributes to the diets, livelihoods and socio-cultural activities of people worldwide; however, unsustainable hunting is a major pressure on wildlife. Regional assessments of the factors associated with hunting offtakes are needed to understand the scale and patterns of wildlife exploitation relevant for policy. We synthesized 83 studies across West and Central Africa to identify the factors associated with variation in offtake. Our mo…
Sustainable education should include Indigenous knowledge
Child and adolescent foraging
Young children and adolescents in subsistence societies forage for a wide range of resources. They often target child-specific foods, they can be very successful foragers, and they share their produce widely within and outside of their nuclear family. At the same time, while foraging, they face risky situations and are exposed to diseases that can influence their immune development. However, children's foraging has largely been explained in light…
The ecology and evolution of human‐wildlife cooperation
Human‐wildlife cooperation is a type of mutualism in which a human and a wild, free‐living animal actively coordinate their behaviour to achieve a common beneficial outcome. While other cooperative human‐animal interactions involving captive coercion or artificial selection (including domestication) have received extensive attention, we lack integrated insights into the ecology and evolution of human‐wildlife cooperative interactions. Here, we re…

Hunter-gatherers and education
This article provides an overview of some of the main themes that have emerged in the research on hunter gatherers and education. The term ‘education’ refers both to schooling, and to the traditional pedagogical modes of knowledge transmission that hunter-gatherer communities have developed and maintained over millennia. Formal education plays a crucial, yet complicated role for contemporary hunter-gatherers; it is considered to be a foundational…
Rainforest, Tropical
Tropical rainforests are biodiversity‐rich ecosystems that are spread throughout the equatorial zone. These wet and hot ecosystems, in which tall broad‐leaved trees constitute both the builders and the building, are organized in successive strata stacked from soil to emergent trees above the canopy. They are home to an astounding diversity of plants, wildlife, and human societies. But rainforests are fragile and threatened mainly by human‐engende…
L’école de la forêt. La difficile conciliation entre instruction formelle et éducation culturelle chez les chasseurs-cueilleurs Kola (sud Cameroun)
Introduction Quels que soient les États concernés et les latitudes, l’intégration socio-économique des derniers peuples chasseurs-cueilleurs nomades dans le paysage national constitue une équation à multiples variables que peu de nations, fussent-elles du Nord ou du Sud, parviennent à résoudre. Qu’ils soient pastoralistes (par exemple le groupe Mbororo), forestiers (par exemple les Pygmées), pêcheurs marins (par exemple le groupe Badjo) ou Gitans…
Children’s ethnobiological knowledge
By the turn of the 21st century, several anthropologists have insistently been denouncing a global disinterest for anthropology of child (see for instance Corsaro 2003; Friedl 2004; Gottlieb 2000; Hirschfeld 2002; Panther-Brick & Smith 2000). Since then, and especially over the past decade, anthropological research pertaining to children and childhood has made significant progress (Lancy 2008, 2012; Lancy et al. 2010; Montgomery 2009; Qvortrup et…

Changement climatique
La mobilisation autour de la conférence Paris Climat 2015 (COP 21) est l'occasion de mettre en relief la vulnérabilité des milieux et des populations du Sud face au réchauffement climatique. Certaines régions de la zone intertropicale en subissent déjà les effets, que ce soient les vagues de chaleur au Sahel, la perturbation des systèmes de mousson, la fonte des glaciers andins, les menaces sur la biodiversité, l'élévation du niveau des océans...…
Climate change
The mobilisation centred on the 2015 Paris Climate Conference (COP 21) is an opportunity to highlight the vulnerability of environments and populations in the South in the face of climate warming. Some tropical regions are already suffering from its effects, with heat waves in the Sahel, disturbances to monsoon systems, the melting of the Andean glaciers, threats to biodiversity, a rise in sea level and other features. Research conducted by IRD a…

Impact de la décentralisation sur la gestion des ressources forestières en Indonésie
En Indonésie, la chute du régime du Président Suharto (1965-1998) s'est traduite par de profonds bouleversements dans les relations entre le centre et la périphérie de l'archipel. Le changement est particulièrement marqué dans les districts riches en ressources naturelles. Notre étude analyse les conséquences de l'« Autonomie Régionale » sur la gestion des ressources forestières dans deux districts de Kalimantan-Est (partie indonésienne de Bornéo…
Les tarières à ignames sauvages des Pygmées Aka et Baka d'Afrique centrale
Les ignames sauvages sont une ressource énergétique précieuse pour Us Pygmées d’Afrique centrale. Les Aka et les Baka ont recours à une forme de pseudo-domestication favorisant le renouvellement des tubercules des ignames collectées. Cette manipulation, adaptée à un mode de vie nomade, a nécessité la conception d’un outil particulier : une tarière. Seuls les Aka et les Baka, qui ont probablement une origine commune lointaine, disposent de cet out…
