“…Orthodox thinking in anthropology and in economics predicts that local ecological knowledge will vanish as economic development unfolds, but recent empirical research suggests that this need not always be the case. Some researchers find that integration into the market through the sale of crops and wage labor is associated with less knowledge of wildlife, but integration into the market through the sale of forest goods is associated with more knowledge of wildlife (Godoy et al, 1998). Other researchers find weak associations between individual market participation and local ecological knowledge.…”

“…Some researchers have linked the loss of local ecological knowledge to the expansion of the market economy (Godoy et al, 1998;Ross, 2002;Reyes-García et al, 2005a), others have found persistence in local ecological knowledge despite large socio-economic changes (Zarger and Stepp, 2004), and still others have found that integration into the market economy through an economic activity based in the natural environment could accelerate the acquisition of local ecological knowledge (Guest, 2002). The debate matters for policy-making because if integration to the market erodes local knowledge, there would be no possibility of simultaneously achieving conservation of local knowledge and economic development.…”

“…Entre indígenas Tawahka, de Honduras a erosão do conhecimento a respeito de plantas e animais pode estar associada à participação no mercado de plantas cultivadas e ao trabalho assalariado, gerando redução no extrativismo (Godoy et al 1998). Entre comunidades mexicanas localizadas na Reserva da Biosfera da Serra de Manantlan, verifi cou-se que a erosão do conhecimento estava associada à perda da linguagem indígena e à aquisição de serviços comunitários não tradicionais (Benz et al 2000).…”

“…It is known, for instance, that the integration or greater participation of local communities in the regional economic market is often associated with the loss of LEK. In fact, there are examples of this process in Honduras (GODOY et al, 1998), Bolivia (GODOY et al, 2009), Mexico (ROSS, 2002b, Ecuador (LU, 2007), and Spain (GÓMEZ-BAGGETHUN et al, 2010).…”
