Transformations of Myth Through Time by Joseph Campbell
This study aims to analyse the impact of wildlife trafficking on biodiversity and the legal and institutional forecasts for combating it. Brazil, a megabiodiverse country, finds it difficult to combat the existing crimes of trafficking, putting all fauna at risk. Therefore, this study analyses this issue, as follows: The first chapter deals with the environment and its conceptions, the second deals with international protection and Brazilian legislation on the subject. And finally, equipped with all the previous construction, the last chapter mentions the theme of wildlife trafficking, the conceptual part, the impacts, the combat and possible methods to make the problem scarce.
Joseph Campbell was interested in mythology since his childhood in New York, when he read books about American Indians, frequently visited the American Museum of Natural History, and was fascinated by the museum's collection of totem poles. He earned his B.A. and M.A. degrees at Columbia in 1925 and 1927 and went on to study medieval French and Sanskrit at the universities of Paris and Munich. After a period in California, where he encountered John Steinbeck and the biologist Ed Ricketts, he taught at the Canterbury School, then, in 1934, joined the literature department at Sarah Lawrence College, a post he retained for many years. During the 1940s and '50s, he helped Swami Nikhilananda to translate the Upanishads and The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna. The many books by Professor Campbell include The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Myths to Live By, The Flight of the Wild Gander, and The Mythic Image. He edited The Portable Arabian Nights, The Portable Jung, and other works. He died in 1987.
