TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE & BIODIVERSITY

Traditional Knowledge (TK) refers to the knowledge, innovations, and practices of indigenous and local communities, which are often passed down through generations. TK can relate to a range of areas, including agriculture, medicine, and natural resource management.

Biodiversity refers to the variety of living organisms on earth, including plants, animals, and microorganisms, as well as the ecosystems in which they live.
