Quantitative Ethnobotany and Amazonian Conservation
We use quantitative ethnobotanical data to compare the usefulness of six floristically distinct forest types to mestizo people at Tambopata, southeast Peru. We aim to evaluate which forest types are most useful, and why. Ethnobotanical data were collected with informants in inventory plots and analyzed using a new technique that uses a two‐tier calculation process to derive an “informant indexed” estimate of each species’ use value. Use values ar…
