N2  - The life of the Lacandon Maya of Mensäbäk (Chiapas, Mexico)has undergone tremendous changes in the last 30 years. These changes are manifested in a generational split in social relations, household location, and economic behavior. The changes affecting social life as well as decision-making processes are paralleled by changes in environmental cognition among the adult members of the community. Older individuals reveal a systematic awareness of the ecological complexity involving animals and plants of the rainforest. The data suggest that the emerging patterns of change are not due to different stages of development-from novice to expert-nor do they seem to be reversible. Rather, they indicate an intricate system that closely links culture, cognition, and behavior
