The aim was to produce short chapters that introduce the reader to the major themes that have been or can be addressed in ethnobiological research. Obviously, given the complexity of ethnobiology, it was not possible to present all views on and approaches to this subject. Therefore, this book is a brief introduction to the topic, taking into account the academic and investigative interest biases of its organizers. This book is divided into five parts, each covering the aspects of ethnobiology that were considered relevant for the ease of reading and learning.
