Linking
Indigenous and Scientific Knowledge: improving lives
In the past, indigenous and scientific knowledge systems have been
on parallel but separate paths. Yet there is enormous potential
benefit in bringing these two forms of knowledge together and capturing
the best elements from each, for specific local conditions. The
challenge is thus to combine modern science and indigenous knowledge
in practical and effective ways, for the benefit of rural development
and for the sustainable management of natural resources by local
societies.
