Over time, human groups have established cognitive, perceptual, and behavioral ties to the natural environment. Accessing perception is a challenge, as it involves having to address physiological, psychological, and cultural aspects that are involved in how one accesses the world outside. In this chapter, we introduce some conceptual issues on this theme and propose the adoption of the term environmental representation in reference to perception studies within ethnobiology.
