Abstract

FRAZAO-MOREIRA, Amélia. Challenging approaches and crossovers in anthropology and conservation in Guinea-Bissau. Etnográfica [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.3, pp.663-667. ISSN 0873-6561.

This communication presents research conducted according to the theoretical viewpoint held passionately by Cláudia Sousa: the need for an interdisciplinary perspective between anthropology, primatology and conservation. Only then can a holistic understanding of human and chimpanzee interactions be achieved that includes local knowledge, and involves local populations in biodiversity conservation.

Keywords : environmental anthropology; conservation; local ecological knowledge; human and nonhuman primate interaction; interdisciplinary research.
