Resumen
TEMUDO, Marina Padrão. The narrative of environmental degradation in Southern Guinea-Bissau: an ethnographic deconstruction. Etnográfica [online]. 2009, vol.13, n.2, pp.237-264. ISSN 0873-6561.
Through a detailed case-study this paper aims not only to unveil the complexity of the relationship among population increase, agriculture and sustainable management of natural resources, but also to reveal the reductionism of the so-called environmental crises narratives. The paper highlights the methodological and epistemological advantages of linking ethnographic field research with remote sensing and geographical information systems in the study of landscape changes, the impact of farmers livelihood strategies and the multiple factors conditioning changes in local resource management systems.
