520    How are biological diversity, protected areas, indigenous 
       knowledge and religious worldviews related? From an 
       anthropological perspective, this book provides an 
       introduction into the complex subject of conservation 
       policies that cannot be addressed without recognising the 
       encompassing relationship between discursive, political, 
       economic, social and ecological facets. By facing these 
       interdependencies across global, national and local 
       dynamics, it draws on an ethnographic case study among 
       Maya-Q'eqchi' communities living in the margins of 
       protected areas in Guatemala. In documenting the cultural 
       aspects of landscape, the study explores the coherence of 
       diverse expressions of indigenous knowledge. It intends to
       remind of cultural values and beliefs closely tied to 
       subsistence activities and ritual practices that define 
       local perceptions of the natural environment. The basic 
       idea is to illustrate that there are different ways of 
       knowing and reasoning, seeing and endowing the world with 
       meaning, which include visible material and invisible 
       interpretative understandings. These tend to be 
       underestimated issues in international debates and may 
       provide an alternative approach upon which conservation 
       initiatives responsive to the needs of the humans involved
       should be based on.
