Ethnozoology

Coined in 1890, the term “ethnozoology” denotes one of the main branches of ethnobiology. Addressing ways in which humans relate to animals, ethnozoologists investigate knowledge of animals revealed in systems of naming and classification as well as practical, economic, and symbolic uses of animals characteristic of particular societies. Typically, ethnozoology considers the entirety of nonhuman animals known to members of particular ethnolinguistic groups, or large subsets of these, and views humans, animals, plants, and inanimate features of natural environments as components of single ecosystems. Modern ethnozoologists are also concerned with connections between local animal knowledge and conservation efforts, on the one hand, and development initiatives, on the other
