This book tells the tale of two communities interested in Bulgaria's Rhodope Mountains - rural villagers and conservation advocates - and seeks to understand how the everyday realities of rural residents relate to global concerns about the conservation of biological diversity.
This detailed and colorful ethnographic account provides important micro-level insights into postsocialist conditions in Bulgaria, insights that come from the author's long-term fieldwork conducted in the local language. It is one of the first anthropological case studies to focus on the intersection of rural communities, nature conservation efforts, and nature conservation organizations in the former socialist bloc.
