As some of the only remaining forest fragments outside nature reserves, Holy Hills have been documented to contain rare species and…

  • Dai Identity in the Chinese Ecological Civilization: Negotiating Culture, Environment, and Development in Xishuangbanna, Southwest China

I problematize these narratives using ethnographic analyses of sacred groves protected…
