Matthew L.M. Fletcher1 Comment

Our Turtle Talk friend Dr. Nick Reo has started a new website — Ecosystems, Societies & Knowledge research group. Check it out.

Here’s Nick (right) exploring an ecosystem:

Here’s the program description:

Our group works with American Indian Tribes and other Native peoples on applied research concerning the management and use of natural resources. We explore the application, preservation and outcomes of traditional resource management systems that are embodiments of tribal traditional ecological knowledge. We also study the political interactions that occur between tribes and their neighbors surrounding natural resource issues, including cross-boundary cooperation, conflict and co-management of ecosystems and subsistence resources.
