User:Eco ant

Eco_Ant: An ant to some and a cockroach to others. The subterranean termite is an important part of the forest ecosystem, recycling nutrients, bringing mineral-rich sub-soils to the forest floor and aerating the soil. It also pays no heed to the bounds of property, destroying the artifices of human settlement. Interests:
 * natural resource commons
 * social science research
 * indigenous knowledge

Background:
 * consulting on land use planning for First Nations in northwestern Ontario
 * research on community-based land management in southern Africa
 * PhD in social anthropology (focus on African studies and ecological anthropology)
