Mental State Attribution to Nonhuman Primates and Other Animals by Rural Inhabitants of the Community of Conhuas Near the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico

There have been multiple project initiatives in the Yucatan Peninsula aimed to rescue the melipona bee (Melipona beecheii). Through an ethnographic study in the Los Petenes biosphere reserve in Campeche, Mexico, the present study registered the revitalization of biocultural elements associated with the melipona. From a decolonial approach, the study concludes that this revitalization promotes cultural identity, and the defense of the territory, complementing conservation efforts. Finally, the study recommends the implementation of an instrument to evaluate the biocultural dimension, with the purpose of contributing to the conservation of protected natural areas.

Phenomenal States

This chapter applies the psychological account from chapter 3 on how we rank human beings above other animals, to the particular case of using mental states to assign animals moral status. Experiments on the psychology of mental state attribution are discussed, focusing on their implications for human moral psychology. The chapter argues that attributions of phenomenal states, like emotions, drive our assignments of moral status. It also describes how this is significantly impacted by the process of dehumanization. Psychological research on anthropocentrism and using animals as food and as companions is discussed in order to illuminate the relationship between dehumanization and mental state attribution.
