Integrating Traditional and Scientific Knowledge through Collaborative Natural Science Field Research: Identifying Elements for Success
"We discuss two recent projects to examine the role of collaborative environmental fieldwork both in research and in the interactions between academically trained researchers and experienced local residents. The Bidarki Project studied black leather chitons (Katharina tunicata) in the lower Ken...
