In
the Land of Orpheus
Rural Livelihoods and
Nature Conservation in Postsocialist Bulgaria
Barbara A. Cellarius
Acting locally, thinking globally—in
rural Bulgaria
Barbara Cellarius provides an ethnographic
description of village life and conservation efforts in an ecologically
important region of one of the most biologically diverse countries
in Europe. She describes the ways in which the lives of residents
of a rural community are affected by outside forces, particularly
the economic and political uncertainties that have plagued Bulgaria
since the collapse of communism. She examines larger forces,
including environmental nongovernmental organizations, interested
in linking global conservation priorities with local communities.
Barbara A. Cellarius is a cultural anthropologist and
subsistence specialist in the Division of Natural and Cultural
Resources, Wrangell–St. Elias National Park and Preserve,
Copper Center, Alaska.
