Subject: Owls want loving too. Zambian schoolchildren and ethnoornithology, 1993

All,


Thanks to Nancy Jacobs for originally posting this (and for others for tracking down a readable file!).

I've written up a short review of this piece - see the link below.


This fascinating piece of ethnoornithological research explores the knowledge and beliefs of and about Owls by secondary and primary school-children in Zambia. 


I’d love to know if any of the students went on to become biologists or natural history workers later in life.


You can see the rest of this story - and the great images created by the primary school-children - at my Crikey.com blog, The Northern Myth here: http://blogs.crikey.com.au/northern/2014/05/03/owls-want-loving-too-ethno-ornithology-from-zambian-schoolchildren/
