Abstract: | In the study of environmental degradation, there has not been sufficient attention paid to the perceptions of the local inhabitants.
The importance of traditional beliefs and practices has often been overlooked. This paper looks at traditional and Christian
beliefs in Akwa Ibom State in South Eastern Nigeria. Interviews, observations and focus group discussions were used to collect
the data. The data analysis shows that knowledge and attitudes are somewhat linked to tradition but also influenced by Christian
ideas concerning genesis. There are a number of recommendations made. |
