Utilizing traditional literature to triangulate the ecological history of a tropical savanna

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 81-98, January 2026.
Abstract The ecological history of tropical savannas remains a subject of intense debate and of high conservation relevance. Despite emerging evidence suggesting the antiquity of tropical savannas, the misconception that all tropical savannas are products of anthropogenic deforestation still dominates public and policy spheres.
