This book examines the importance of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and how it can provide models for a time-tested form of sustainability needed in the world today. The essays, explore TEK through compelling cases of environmental sustainability from multiple tribal and geographic locations in North America and beyond.

The volume includes widely varied case studies on the role of indigenous knowledge in forestry, community living, and joint management of local natural resources. This book consists of 17 papers, based on cross-cultural, interdisciplinary investigations of well-known scholars of forest management, ethno-botanists, social anthropologists and of the members of several local NGOs involved in either community forestry or village development programmes.

The author draws attention on the Naga indigenous knowledge system in the light of United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (UNCBD), through which they were able to sustainable manage and conserve their biodiversity while obtaining their livelihood from the same.

The publication of this Poultry Farm Manual, would act as a reference book for all poultry farms in public sector including Central Poultry Development Organizations (CPDOs). The manual is broadly divided in three parts: history & planning, technical and administrative. The technical portion is applicable to most of other public sector farms besides CPDOs.

The central purpose of the policy is to provide a framework to guide FAO’s work where indigenous peoples are concerned. It gives information about indigenous peoples’ livelihoods, world views and concerns about development, including certain “core principles” which should be at the heart of joint activities.

The publication gives a brief outline of the integrated approach and the inter-linkages of the different religions; of religion, culture and the environment; and of the environment and socioeconomic dimensions of sustainable development.

The book shows how other living beings - asters and goldenrod, strawberries and squash, salamanders, algae, and sweetgrass - offer us gifts and lessons, even if we've forgotten how to hear their voices.

This study illustrates how meaningful engagement with indigenous knowledge throughout the scientific process can improve biodiversity science and promote conservation, particularly in studies of crop wild relatives, an international priority for food security in the face of climate change.

The study conducted a systematic literature review, identifying 325 articles that were qualitatively coded to identify what practices constitute Local Indigenous Knowledge (LIK), patterns in how it has been studied, and how current understanding of LIK fits to the Sendai Framework.

The article demonstrates the widespread reliance of farmers on IK and LK for seasonal forecasts, and the strong positive link between the use of IK and LK and the implementation of climate adaptation actions in Chiredzi, Zimbabwe.
