Traditional Ecological Knowledge and the conservation of natural resources Nature as w e know it means different things to different people. To an economist, natural is often seen as a resource to be transformed and put in readiness for human use. An alternative view is that humans are stewards who should care for natural things as well as making use of nature’s bounty.

Throughout history in North America, the indigenous peoples culture, tradition and religion have always differed from the western way of life. In this essay, I will explore two things. First, I will talk about the indigenous people’s view of the conservation of resources which can also be termed as the traditional ecological knowledge and the economist view of natural resources.

Environmental, or ecological anthropology looks at the relationship between culture and ecology. Conservation is the protective act of preserving or restoring an environment. It involves saving all populations, species, communities, and ecosystems from uses that are inappropriate (Mulder, Coppolillo 25).
