Research Abstract

Based on ecological-anthropological fieldwork, forest resource uses by hunter-gatherers and cultivators co-living in the African rainforest were compared. As a result, food resources used by the two peoples were largely overlapped, but manners of resource management were definitely different between them. This knowledge will be useful to adjust the forest resource management project to plural local peoples' livelihoods.
