Amazon River Forest - Smith, Nigel J. H. (Professor of Geography, Professor of Geography, University of Florida, Gainesville)

The floodplain forests of the Amazon are among the most threatened habitats in South America. This habitat contains a marvellous variety of plant and animal resources that inhabitants have long reaped. This book explores the natural history knowledge of the floodplain inhabitants and how we might better use their knowledge to promote conservation.
