Perceptions and practices in the coastal savannahs

Launched in mid-2012, an anthropological study led by Marianne Palisse, a lecturer at the Université Antilles-Guyane, has, at the start of the year, just been completed. Understanding the life-styles and customs linked to this distinctive habitat is a fundamental first step in integrating local realities, needs and constraints going further developing the necessary methods of management.

GEPOG hopes to investigate the subject more deeply this year, although the methodology is still under consideration. Watch this space!

The final report is available on-line at GEPOG’s website->http://www.gepog.org/sites/default/files/fichiers/act_sci/life/MPalisse_Rapport_Savanes.pdf]
