The edited collection brings analyses and contributions on the work of the first Slovenian anthropologist who established the Ethnological Institute (1921), the Slovenian Ethnographic Museum (1923), the scholarly journal Etnolog (1927), and the Department of Ethnology with Ethnography at the University of Ljubljana. In his work, his political engagement was intertwined with his research. It is the first thorough assessment of his important role for the early development of Slovenian anthropology and prehistorical research in Slovenian and South-eastern Europe.

This chapter presents the findings of a comparative analysis of ethnographic studies in organizations for biodiversity monitoring and nature conservation in Slovenia and the United Kingdom. The chapter presents voluntary contributions to nature conservation and the influence of the socio-cultural milieu (e.g., capitalism and communism) on the organization members’ attitude toward volunteering. Special emphasis is put on social capital of organizations, which are interconnected on European and global level. Such a network enables organisations to successfully realise their goals.
