PLEASE READ DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY!
This really shouldn’t be an essay. This is a case study. Please read the case study article attached. Add pictures as stated.
Letters (g, h, and i) should be summarized into 2-3 paragraphs like stated at the bottom.
Learning Objectives:
PSLO1. Locate, evaluate, and organize information from multiple disciplines to develop, refine, and address
questions.
PSLO2. Use valid data and evidence from multiple disciplines to construct well-framed and well-supported
arguments.
PSLO4. Reflect on the processes used to develop an informed perspective on a civic or global issue.
CSLO3. Explain the use of traditional indigenous knowledge about species and local ecosystems in mitigating
global health, resource, and environmental crises.
CSLO4. Analyze ethical and policy issues related to ethnobiological studies as well as conservation and fair use of
local resources.
Directions:
I. Read the Case: Read ONE of the four case studies (17.1, 17.2, 17.3, 17.4) found at the end of Chapter 17 of the
course text (Anderson 2011). Take notes when you read and answer the following questions. You have to find
some information from other sources.
a. What Indigenous groups this case study was about? Who did this case study (you can mention 2-3 research
groups who contributed the most)? When? Include a picture of the Indigenous people in question and/or their
environment (from web search). The pictures must be clear.
b. What was the geographic location (include country and continent). Find a CLEAR map of the study area based
on the description in the case study. Try to add a box indicating the study area if needed (try your best).
c. What resource and/or environment was managed?
d. What TREM methods were practiced? Give few 2-3 examples.
e. What were the benefits of this TREM practice?
f. Did you find any TREM approaches used by this group particularly interesting or unique or effective?
***********************************************
2-3 Paragraphs for letters g, h, and i
g. How is this resource and/or environment managed by other ethnic groups (specify group) OR ‘western’/’modern’ societies? Similarly or differently?
h. Is management of this resource/environment by the other group OR ‘western’/’modern’ societies effective? Are
there any problems or limitations with their approach?
i. Can ‘western’/’modern’ society learn from the TRES approaches used by this Indigenous group? What can they
learn and probably use it for their benefit?
II. Write up: [20 points (10 points for completeness + 10 points for organization/clarity)]. Organize the above
information into 2-3 paragraphs. Feel free to include additional information from your reading of the case or from
other sources as you find relevant. Figures/maps must have descriptive titles. Cite sources in-text as well as list
them at the end of your post in APA format. Give a descriptive title for your writing so that it reflects the message
of your writing. Reread and edit your paragraphs for grammar, spelling and clarity.
