Summary note

After a decade in the field of Honduras, Bonta came to realize that, contrary to outsiders' beliefs, the society he observed was predisposed "to like birds, to observe birds, to weave them into folklore, and to protect them on private property." Bonta argues that if North Americans and Europeans were to pay real attention to local knowledge and practice, they would learn that rural cultures offer alternative ways of accommodating habitats and wildlife.
