Local & Indigenous Knowledge Systems (LINKS)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What are Local & Indigenous Knowledge Systems?\u00a0According to UNESCO<\/a>, “local and indigenous knowledge refers to the understandings, skills and philosophies developed by societies with long histories of interaction with their natural surroundings. For rural and indigenous peoples, local knowledge informs decision-making about fundamental aspects of day-to-day life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This knowledge is integral to a cultural complex that also encompasses language, systems of classification, resource use practices, social interactions, ritual and spirituality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These unique ways of knowing are important facets of the world\u2019s cultural diversity, and provide a foundation for locally-appropriate sustainable development.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
