Intermediate levels of aboriginal burning and hunting have positive effects on kangaroo populations in Western Australia | Studies of conservation in small scale societies typically portray indigenous peoples as either sustainably managing resources, or forsaking long-term sustainability for short-term gains. To explain this variability, we propose an alternative framework derived from a co-evolutionary perspective. In ... | 2014-01-01 | |
