  • The Growing Importance of Traditional Forest-Related Knowledge
    Chapter 1 Introduction: The Growing Importance of Traditional Forest-Related Knowledge Ronald L. Trosper and John A. Parrotta Abstract The knowledge, innovations, and practices of local and indigenous communities have supported their forest-based livelihoods for countless generations. The role of traditional knowledge—and the bio-cultural diversity it sustains—is increasingly recognized as important by decision makers, conservation and develop- ment organizations, and the scientifi c community. However, there has long existed a lack of understanding of, and an uneasy relationship between, the beliefs and practices of traditional communities and those of formal forest science. This mutual incompre- hension has a number of unfortunate consequences, both for human societies and our planet’s forests and woodlands, which play out both on solid ground in many parts of the world as well as in international policy arenas. In this chapter, we defi ne traditional forest-related knowledge, and explore the relationships between traditional knowledge systems and scientifi c approaches. We follow with an overview of the scope and central questions to be addressed in subsequent chapters of the book, and then provide an overview of international and intergovernmental policy processes that affect traditional knowledge and its practitioners. Finally, we introduce some of the major international programmes and research initiatives that focus on traditional forest-related knowledge and its applications for sustaining livelihoods in local and indigenous communities in a world struggling to deal with environmental, cultural, social, and economic change. Keywords Biocultural diversity • Forest policy • Forest management • Indigenous peoples • Knowledge systems • Sustainability • Traditional communities • Traditional knowledge • United Nations R. L.

  • Forest Peoples Programme
    ADVANCE DRAFT Forest Peoples Programme Submission to the Convention on Biological Diversity relating to innovative financial mechanisms and the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities 31st July 2011 Key recommendations: The CBD should adopt a precautionary approach to its work on innovative finance mechanisms, based on detailed evidence of their potential to contribute to the effective implementation of the Convention Existing and innovative finance mechanisms for conservation must adhere to stringent safeguards consistent with CBD standards and the international obligations of countries to uphold the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities Proposed GEF safeguard principles on indigenous peoples must ensure close alignment with relevant CBD norms as well as minimum standards enshrined in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples International processes to design a system of information on REDD+ safeguards under the UNFCCC should include, inter alia, information on compliance with CBD standards and work programmes, including elements relating to indigenous peoples and local communities This submission to the CBD Secretariat is presented by the Forest Peoples Programme (FPP) in response to the Secretariat‟s call for information on the potential role of innovative financial mechanisms in the achievement of the Convention‟s three objectives linked to biodiversity conservation, sustainable use and equitable benefit sharing (pursuant to decision X/3, A, paragraph 8c).1 The information provided includes brief assessments of three different finance mechanisms: Payment for Ecosystem Services; Biodiversity Offsets and REDD+. Each mechanism is assessed in relation to its: (i) possible impacts on the rights and livelihoods of indigenous peoples and local communities (ii) potential consistency with associated CBD objectives, standards and work programmes.

Des parcs nationaux et d’autres zones protégées ont été imposés sur leurs terres sans leur consentement – dans de nombreux cas, suite à une consultation faible voire inexistante. Certaines des plus grandes organisations mondiales de conservation de la nature, tout particulièrement le Fonds mondial pour la nature (WWF) et la Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), sont les principaux responsables du morcellement de leurs territoires. Alors qu’ils chassent à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur de ces zones pour nourrir leurs familles, les Baka et les Bayaka sont accusés de « braconnage ». Avec leurs voisins, ils font face à toutes sortes de harcèlements, sont frappés, torturés et tués. Les milices anti- braconnage qui commettent ces atrocités sont financées et équipées par ces mêmes organisations de protection de la nature. Il est presque certain que les témoignages épouvantables que nous avons recueillis ici ne représentent qu’une infime fraction de ce qui se passe en réalité, la vaste majorité des horreurs perpétrées n’étant pas documentée. Tous ces abus auraient dû faire l’objet d’investigations impartiales, mais sont fréquemment niés et très rarement punis par la loi.

    CROSS CUTTINGIII ISSUES IN SFM 11 Traditional Knowledge and Human Well-Being in the 21st Century Coordinating convening lead author: Carol J. Pierce Colfer Convening lead authors: Marcus Colchester, Laxman Joshi, Rajindra Puri, Anja Nygren and Citlalli Lopez Abstract: In this chapter, we highlight the most important issues pertaining to tradi- tional knowledge. We see these as 1) intellectual property rights; 2) internal community differentiation; 3) differing epistemologies; 4) potential exchange between multiple use forestry and traditional knowledge systems; and 5) links among knowledge, livelihoods and land. In our view, “traditional knowledge” and “cosmopolitan” or “scientific knowl- edge” could contribute to each other in a much more constructive way than is now the case – to the benefit of both environmental and human diversity and well-being. Keywords: Traditional knowledge; indigenous knowledge; epistemology; intellectual prop- erty rights; intra-community heterogeneity; multiple use forestry; indigenous technical knowledge; policy. 11.1 The Importance of extensive field program of direct community involve- Traditional Knowledge ment in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, as well as a series called Studies in Indigenous Knowledge here are two main ways in which traditional and Development.
