The Revelator - William H. Thomas

William H. Thomas, Ph.D.

has conducted ethno-ecological research in Papua New Guinea since 1988. He is particularly interested in the potential for Indigenous knowledge to provide a blueprint for the conservation of the Earth’s remaining wildlands. By working with local people to record their knowledge of the biological diversity in the most remote regions of Papua New Guinea, he is helping to create a baseline of information on these unexplored regions and exposing conservationists to the possibilities of involving local people in the conservation of their lands.
