Abstrakt: Self-identified campesinos were interviewed in rural Veracruz, Mexico as part of this qualitative research study. Participants had firsthand historical knowledge about hunting the Antillean manatee ( Trichechus manatus manatus) or about preparing the manatee for human consumption. The lagoon ecosystem that surrounds the area is greatly degraded and its contemporary inhabitants speak of the past with a great deal of wistfulness and a sense of loss characterized as 'environmental regret.' The study examines the evolving local environmental and cultural practices, attitudes, and circumstances. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
