Latino Community

I had found this article on:

Title:
Traditional Environmental Knowledge, Latino Sense of Place, Environmental Justice

A quote from this article states "Western culture for its worldview that builds on a symbiotic dialectic between nature and culture rather than a binary paradigm that privileges culture over nature." In other words saying that there is a correlation between treating the world as a sacred place or a place that we should be using to our advantage. We had also explained some more evidence in this from class and lecture.

"community's teachings about nature, sense of place, healing, flora, fauna, and other elements of the natural world. Such knowledge is categorized as ethnobiology, which encompasses the study of culture and fauna (ethnozoology) and culture and flora (ethnobotany) as well as ethnoecology, which studies a culture's interaction with ecosystems of animals and plants in their shared habitats."

Is a more direct knowledge of their surroundings and having to live the lifestyle that they can live. There are a bunch of evidence also coming from history for traditional environmental knowledge such as aztecs and other tribes that still had the knowledge we still pertain to today for living.
