Indigenous Knowledge and Traditional Knowledge2014 •
This paper reviews international law and policy regarding the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities that are defining the role of traditional and indigenous knowledge in the management and conservation of biodiversity. The most influential forums occur within the United Nations system, particularly the Working Group on Indigenous Populations and the Convention on Biological Diversity. We discuss the "soft-law" context of declarations, regional agreements, ethical guidelines, research protocols, and policy frameworks, which reinforce indigenous entitlements. The elaboration of these rights will increasingly impinge upon scientific research by regulating access to the knowledge and resources of indigenous and local communities, and by requiring that policy and management be made with their full participation. Scientists should respond by following these developments, institutionalizing this participation at all levels of scientific activity, and respecting the value of indigenous knowledge.

Why " Integrating " Western Science and Indigenous Knowledge Is Not an Easy Task: What Lessons Could Be Learned for the Future of KnowledgeThe potential of integration of Western science and indigenous knowledge, especially in fields like environmental management, is a much debated topic today. However, the difficulties involved in such a task are not always fully understood and, as a matter of fact, experiences of co-management have achieved only partially the expected outcomes. In this contribution, I show how the possibility of a sound integration depends on the possibility to accommodate different interpretations of reality and knowledge criteria, recognizing the value of pluralism and mutual learning. Some remarks on how this argument may be extended beyond the case study, and be relevant for the kind of future we want to envision for human knowledge are also provided.
