Description:	The aim of this book is to enhance our understanding about environmental values and their expression in different social and cultural contexts around the globe. Although much of the environmental literature focuses on institutional capacities and available environmental technologies, little of it examines the experiences of communities trying to define environmental values in the context of struggles over livelihoods and lives. This book presents new case material that links the scientific analysis to policy analysis and then goes one step beyond to do what few studies do: to exam the values of all the stakeholders and their processes of interaction. This holistic approach provides a basis for understanding how people in different parts of the world define environmental goals and objectives, how their values related to the environment are shaped by lived realities, cultural contexts, and political struggles in which they forge their ideas about nature and the environment, and whose values matter and whose don’t in setting environmental priorities.
