Sacred Ecology examines knowledge held by Indigenous peoples and local communities around the world, and asks how we can learn from this body of knowledge and practice. Berkes explores the importance of Indigenous ways of knowing as a complement to ecology and environmental science, and its cultural and political significance for traditional peoples themselves. With updates of relevant web links and over 300 new references, this fifth edition provides increased voice for Indigenous authors and contains much new material, including a new chapter.
Fikret Berkes is Distinguished Professor Emeritus and former Tier I Canada Research Chair at the Natural Resources Institute, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada. His studies on community-based resource management have led to explorations of traditional knowledge and stewardship, in addition to contributions to commons studies and social-ecological resilience. He has authored or co-authored some 280 scholarly publications, and authored or edited 15 books, including Linking Social and Ecological Systems (1998), Navigating Social-Ecological Systems (2003), Advanced Introduction to Resilience (2023), and Governing for Transformation towards Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries (2025).
