This research is about intracultural variation of indigenous knowledge in agroforestry. This was developed in response to the dominant thinking in anthropology, which assumes that culture is a shared system of knowledge that one must know to function in a given society. The notion of "sharedness" or cultural uniformity has also permeated in development thinking. Since WWII, billions of dollars of developmental aid have been extended to poor countries under the similar assumption of cultural uniformity, ignoring the fact that there is internal social differentiation even among the poor. As a result, many development projects benefitted the relatively well off members of the poor communities while, at the same time, creating disadvantages for others, especially the poorest of the poor. In many cases, developmental agencies (government or private) implemented development projects without consulting the intended beneficiaries of development programs. It has been common practice to send experts who, in many cases, ignored and devalued the knowledge of the local people. This research will argue that indigenous knowledge is an important resource for development that has been overlooked. Its use can potentially increase local people's participation in development projects. To make indigenous agroforestry knowledge available to development planners, it is important that indigenous agroforestry practices are documented. The goals of this research, then, are to document indigenous knowledge of agroforestry in a logged over area and to test intracultural variation of indigenous agroforestry knowledge based on age, gender, and ethnicity. It is also an ethnohistorical account of the factors contributing to environmental despoliation of the region. It addresses the issue of why those who possess relatively rich indigenous knowledge are not using it, or are prevented from using it. Answering these questions might be the key to environmental restoration not only in the Philippines but also in many severely deforested regions in the world.
