Confronting forest‐dweller local ecological knowledge and environmental DNA measurements of biodiversity
In the face of global changes and the biodiversity crisis, Local Ecological Knowledge of Indigenous communities is increasingly valued for aligning conservation policies with the needs of local communities and enriching conservation strategies through the synergy of diverse knowledge systems. To assess whether conservation policies relying on biodiversity metrics integrate the interconnectedness between nature and Indigenous communities, we evalu…
Associations between dietary diversity and self-rated health in a transverse study of four local food systems (French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Portugal and Senegal)
This study demonstrates a positive association between dietary diversity and self-rated health across distinct cultural contexts. The findings reinforce the importance of diverse diets for subjective well-being, regardless of differences in food systems. Public health messaging should continue to promote dietary diversity and home-cooked meals as effective strategies for improving health. Self-rated health could serve as a useful tool for quickly…

BACKGROUND: Palikur Amerindians live in the eastern part of French Guiana which is undergoing deep-seated changes due to the geographical and economic opening of the region. So far, Palikur's traditional ecological knowledge is poorly documented, apart from medicinal plants. The aim of this study was to document ethnobotanical practices related to traditional construction in the region. METHODS: A combination of qualitative and quantitative metho…
Des cultures foncièrement différentes: Usages de la terre chez les Amérindiens et les migrants haïtiens en Guyane
Cet article analyse et compare les stratégies d’accès au foncier agricole des Amérindiens et des migrants haïtiens en Guyane française, et interroge la manière dont s’organise dans l’espace la multiculturalité guyanaise. Les Amérindiens revendiquent la propriété collective de la terre comme une reconnaissance de leur autochtonie et de leur différence culturelle. Les Haïtiens, pour leur part, s’efforcent d’accéder individuellement au foncier pour …
Constructing the French state in Guiana: The challenge of the Amerindian peoples’ mobility
La mobilité des Amérindiens de Guyane, caractéristique fondamentale de leurs modes de vie traditionnels, est désormais une problématique indissociable de celle de l’obtention de droits sur les terres qu’ils occupent. Si elle permet à ces populations d’éviter les conflits intra et intercommunautaires, cette mobilité peut également en être à l’origine dès lors que l’espace et les ressources naturelles deviennent plus rares et que la nécessité est i…
Human Trafficking and Slavery in Australia: Pathways, Tactics, and Subtle Elements of Enslavement
Human trafficking and slavery are heinous crimes that occur in all regions of the world. Victims are frequently trafficked or enslaved using tactics involving force, threats, or coercion. Perceptions of human trafficking and slavery often involve images of slaves, bound and shackled, kidnapped, and raped. Anecdotal evidence from Australia suggests that victims of human trafficking and slavery in Australia do not fit this stereotypical image. This…
Anti–Human Trafficking Interventions: How Do We Know if They Are Working
Since the early 2000s, a significant number of programs and policies have been developed and implemented to prevent and combat human trafficking. At the international, regional and national levels, government, and international, and nongovernment organizations have established plans of action, conducted training, developed policy tools, and conducted a variety of other activities to counter the phenomenon of trafficking in persons. However, only …
Valadeau Céline, Médecine chez les Yanesha d'Amazonie péruvienne: La traversée par les plantes
Les ouvrages abordant les relations qu’entretient un groupe culturel avec ses plantes médicinales par une approche tant ethnobotanique que d’anthropologie médicale ne sont pas nombreux. Le livre de Céline Valadeau constitue une exception de taille. La traversée par les plantes qu’elle nous propose permet d’approcher la société yanesha (groupe arawak de 7 658 âmes vivant en Amazonie péruvienne) par le prisme de leur représentation du monde végétal…
Understanding the Support Needs of Human-Trafficking Victims: A Review of Three Human-Trafficking Program Evaluations
Human trafficking is a global crime and human rights violation that affects nearly every country of the world. Victims of human trafficking may suffer severe physical, psychological, and emotional health consequences as they are often subjected to a range of abuses such as physical violence, sexual assault, emotional abuse, mind-control, and torture. A variety of human-trafficking victim support programs exist in the United States and other count…
Understanding the complexities of responding to child sex trafficking in Thailand and Cambodia
Purpose – The market in trafficked children bought and sold for sexual exploitation is one of the most inhumane transnational crimes that appear to have been facilitated by globalisation and its many effects, such as growing disparity in wealth between North and South. Child sex trafficking (CST) in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) is an extremely complex problem, deeply rooted in historical injustice, gender inequality and poverty. In addition…
Responding to Child Sex Trafficking: Transnational Advocacy Networks in the Greater Mekong Subregion
The rapidly expanding market in enslaved children bought and sold for sex is one of the most inhumane transnational crimes that appears to have been facilitated by globalization and its many effects, such as a growing disparity in wealth between north and south. Child sex trafficking has become one of the most highly publicized social issues of this time, and, because of its global nature, transnational advocacy networks are well placed and centr…
Measuring the immeasurable: Understanding the effectiveness of anti-child trafficking transnational advocacy networks
Transnational advocacy networks' anti-child trafficking efforts have led to significant progress in the Mekong Subregion by bringing the child trafficking issue onto the global social policy agenda, resulting in new child protection legislation and improved inter-agency collaboration in the region. However, a significant gap in both the literature on TANs and TAN practice is the lack of monitoring and evaluation of TAN 'effectiveness'. This artic…
Understanding the motivations and activities of transnational advocacy networks against child sex trafficking in the Mekong Subregion: The value of cosmopolitan globalisation theory
Child sex trafficking has become one of the most highly publicised social issues of our time and, due to its global nature, transnational anti-trafficking advocacy networks are well placed and central to lead campaigns against it. Whilst there is an abundance of literature on the subjects of child sex trafficking and transnational advocacy networks we lack an understanding of the motivations of these networks that act as buffers against trafficki…
