Here’s a quick video that shows ways in which Facebook and other web 2.0 technologies can be super useful for speeding up science through the process of crowdsourcing. While this researcher is an ichthyologist, the same method could be easily used by ethnobotanists. http://vimeo.com/48909830
I'm a cultural and environmental anthropologist with interests in biodiversity management and smallholder agriculture in rural Amazonia. I've conducted research on agrobiodiversity management, anthropogenic soils, and community-based conservation. Currently, I'm also interested in the ways that farmers rely upon social networks, local ecological knowledge, and agrobiodiversity management to contend with the uncertainties of global climate change.
