The First Book for Mr. Tyler Pounds "Integrated Human-Nature Relations". The "School of Integrated Human-Nature Relations" combines the fields of Anthropology, Wildlife Biology (Botany, Ecology, Zoology) into a cohesive integrated format. The school (and thus this book) delves into the direct links and relationships that humans have with nature. Exploring the direct links and relationships that humans have with nature is a critical first step on solving the worlds "biodiversity crisis". This book uses the fields of Ecological Anthropology, Ethnobotany, Integrated Biology to showcase biodiversity on Native American reservations as well as showcasing how Ethnographic Field Methods can be integrated and used for wildlife management through an "Ecosystem Service" lens. The showcasing of ecological data sets on Native American reservations is critical in proving to the world just how important and invaluable Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) Systems are in conserving the worlds biodiversity. Integrating and "bridging of the sciences" will be crucial in solving the worlds biodiversity and global climate change crisis. We now stand in the "Anthropocene Epoch" of human caused ecological destruction. To value nature is to value one's own self and well-being.

About the Author

My name is Tyler Pounds (formerly Tyler Broderick Walborn). I am an Ecological Anthropologist, Ethnobiologist, Integrated Biologist. Mr. Pounds has an M.A. in Anthropology (Ecological) from New Mexico State University with Graduate Minors in Fisheries, Wildlife, Conservation Ecology and Native American Studies. Mr. Pounds also holds a B.A. in American Indian/Native American Studies from Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Mr. Pounds is a National Science Foundation (NSF) summer scholar. Oddly enough, Mr. Pounds never graduated from high school. He holds a G.E.D. and wishes to be "a shining light" to people who come from disadvantaged backgrounds.

He states, "it's never too late to fulfill your dreams in life, never giving up is of the utmost importance." Mr. Pounds has worked alongside many federal, state-level, and non-profit agencies for wildlife conservation and cultural heritage. This includes the Bureau of Land Management, American Conservation Experience-Epic (Forestry Service), Americorps, Southwest Conservation Corps, Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps, Save Our Bosque Task Force, and the Naraya Cultural Preservation Council (NCPC), most recently he worked for Oregon State University-Institute of Natural Resources. While working for these agencies, Tyler received first-hand experiences with wildlife management practices. Tyler combines the fields of Anthropology and Wildlife Biology (Botany, Ecology, and Zoology) into an "integrated approach" fit for the 21st century. Tyler enjoys addressing issues that are directly related to the "Anthropocene Epoch," while also bridging the gaps between humans and wildlife. Mr. Pounds is the creator of a new field of study known as "Integrated Human-Nature Relations". This new school of thought and field has been specifically designed for "biodiversity & conservation".
