The importance of Indigenous and local people for cataloging biodiversity

Trends Ecol Evol. 2023 Sep 16:S0169-5347(23)00231-8. doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2023.08.017. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIndigenous and local peoples' (ILPs) role in cataloging life on Earth has been significant but underappreciated. ILPs knowledge faces growing cultural and biological threats. Greater participation by ILPs in research would make science more efficient, conservation more sustainable, and traditional knowledge stronger, but formidable obstacles remain.PMID:37723016 | DOI:10.1016/j.tree.2023.08.017
