N2 - 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 (T richechus 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.
