Recognizing culture, and diverse sources of knowledge, can improve assessments
Working with indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) is vital for inclusive assessments of nature nature's linkages people. Indigenous peoples' concepts about what constitutes sustainability, example, differ markedly from dominant sustainability discourses. The Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity Ecosystems Services (IPBES) promoting dialogue across different systems globally. In 2017, member states IPBES adopted an ILK Approach including: procedures people; a participatory mechanism;...
The knowledge, values, and practices of Indigenous peoples local communities offer ways to understand better address social-environmental problems. article reviews the state literature on this topic by focusing six pathways which engage with management relationships nature. These are ( a) undertaking territorial customary governance, b) contributing nature conservation restoration efforts regional global implications, c) co-constructing knowledge for assessments monitoring, d) countering...
Significance Understanding and tracking nature’s contributions to people provides critical feedback that can improve our ability manage earth systems effectively, equitably, sustainably. Declines in biodiversity ecosystem functions over the past 50 y have decreased of nature contribute quality life. Changes technology adaptation social has partially offset negative impacts environmental change on life, but downward trends still occurred for many categories contributions.
The Convention on Biological Diversity is defining the goals that will frame future global biodiversity policy in a context of rapid decline and under pressure to make transformative change. Drawing work Indigenous non-Indigenous scholars, we argue change requires foregrounding peoples' local communities' rights agency policy. We support this argument with four key points. First, peoples communities hold knowledge essential for setting realistic effective targets simultaneously improve...

Abstract There have been calls for greater inclusion of Indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) in applied ecosystems research ecological assessments. The Intergovernmental Science‐Policy Platform on Biodiversity Ecosystem Services (IPBES) Global Assessment (GA) is the first global scale assessment to systematically engage with ILK issues concern peoples communities (IPLC). In this paper, we review reflect how GA worked lessons learned. engaged critical evaluation synthesis existing evidence...
Summary Despite significant interest in the sustainable use of medicinal plants, population ecology many plant species remains unstudied. Also, few demographic studies have compared effects harvesting across habitats. We studied demography a highly threatened perennial Himalayan herb, Nardostachys grandiflora , two habitats and examined indigenous regimes on its dynamics. In rocky‐outcrop 1998, different levels rhizome were applied directly by local users. meadows, we sampled an unharvested...

The conservation of high-altitude medicinal plants is concern throughout the Himalayan region, because they are important for traditional health care and in large-scale collection trade. Because little known regarding their status relation to diversity land-use patterns habitats, this paper explores species composition five different pasture types a traditionally-managed landscape northwest Nepal. Environmental variables, including human activities, strongly affected composition,...
The high biodiversity of food and agriculture (agrobiodiversity) in the Mediterranean exists rapidly changing landscapes systems. first goal this Commentary is to explain how agrobiodiverse cereals legumes are threatened by accelerating expansion intensification monocultures woody crops—principally olive, nut, grape, citrus monocrops—in western (Spain, Morocco, France). Its second key countervailing force specific farmer movements, organizations, practices supporting agrobiodiversity. We...
