From the contemporary research of the author, the reader is informed of the most current developments and provided with a well-reasoned outlook for the future

This book is an essential resource for aboriginal people engaged in the use and management of natural resources, and for those who seek professional training in the field. Anyone wanting to know more about the social and environmental issues pertaining to more responsible and equitable environmental and ecological management will find a wealth of information in this volume."--Amazon.
