These impacts will affect resources such as forestry products, fish, game, wild crops, and water that are important to tribal economies and well-being. To combat this, varying levels of tribal community preparedness and the ability to build effective adaptive capacity to extreme events will be crucial for future resiliency efforts. Furthermore, there is a pressing need to work with partners who have a variety of backgrounds to plan, strategize, build and implement resiliency initiatives in tribal communities and identify innovative ways that integrate local knowledge, technology, and science in a manner that traditional and cultural identities are tied. "Using Indigenous Research Methods, Native American Programs at the University of Maine will align research questions, data collection methods, outputs, and research protocols with Wabanaki people, knowledge, and values to build a regional tribal network for climate change adaptation and create a Wabanaki Climate Adaptation and Adaptive Management Workbook. This project will work with and inform a Regional Climate Change Tribal Network to identify research and output goals and objectives using indigenous values and science related to both the network building and the Workbook. "The Regional Network will consist of a diverse group of collaborators representing tribal harvesters, tribal environmental staff, intertribal and regional government entities, academic staff and tribal scholars from the University of Maine, and tribal elders and language speakers from each community to integrate a framework that will include indigenous and traditional knowledge, culture, language and history into the adaptation planning process. The primary output of this work, a Climate Adaptation and Adaptive Management Workbook, will identify examples of culturally appropriate adaptative management in responding to climate change, and identify tools for future Wabanaki Tribal leaders and communities to respond to future climate changes."<a href="https://www.usgs.gov/programs/climate-adaptation-science-centers/science/designing-tools-and-networks-support-wabanaki" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.usgs.gov/programs/climate-adaptation-science-centers/science/designing-tools-and-networks-support-wabanaki</a>Archived version: <a href="https://archive.ph/ssSKw" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.ph/ssSKw</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TEK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TEK</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WabanakiConfederacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WabanakiConfederacy</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChangeAdaptation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChangeAdaptation</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TIK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TIK</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TraditionalIndigenousKnowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TraditionalIndigenousKnowledge</a>

It is transmitted orally or experientially from one generation to another and is deeply rooted in cultural traditions, spiritual beliefs, and social systems. TEK encompasses a holistic understanding of ecosystems, incorporating environmental, spiritual, social, and economic dimensions. Some key aspects and importance of TEK include:- Sustainable Resource Management: It offers time-tested practices for sustainable agriculture, fishing, and hunting, maintaining ecological balance.- Biodiversity Conservation: It provides insights into local biodiversity, aiding conservation efforts and identifying threatened species.- Climate Change Adaptation: It informs adaptive strategies for climate variability, including seasonal forecasting and resilience-building practices.- Cultural Preservation: It preserves cultural identity, spirituality, and traditional practices, fostering community cohesion and cultural heritage. - Community Resilience: TEK empowers communities to address environmental challenges, promoting self-reliance and community-based decision-making. - Complementarity with Science: It complements Western science, offering alternative perspectives and methodologies for holistic environmental management.- Social Justice and Equity: Valuing TEK promotes social justice by acknowledging indigenous rights, cultural diversity, and contributions to sustainable development."Traditional Ecological Knowledge is vital for sustainable development, biodiversity conservation, cultural preservation, and social justice. Its importance lies in its holistic understanding of human-environment relationships, adaptive strategies for coping with environmental changes, and contributions to community resilience and empowerment. What are the Features of TEK?"Traditional Ecological Knowledge exhibits several distinctive features, which set it apart from scientific knowledge and make it a unique and valuable system of understanding the natural world. Some key features of TEK include:a. Holistic Perspective: TEK views nature as an interconnected system with interdependent components. It considers not only the physical aspects of the environment but also spiritual, cultural, and social dimensions.b. Oral Transmission: TEK is typically transmitted orally from one generation to another, often through storytelling, rituals, songs, and other cultural practices. It ensures its preservation and continuity over time.c. Place-based Knowledge: TEK is deeply rooted in specific landscapes and ecosystems. It reflects the intimate relationship between indigenous and local communities and their environments, shaped by generations of observation and interaction.d. Adaptation and Resilience: TEK embodies adaptive strategies developed over time to cope with environmental changes and uncertainties. It often includes diverse coping mechanisms, such as flexible resource management practices and local ecological calendars.e. Local and Context-Specific: TEK is highly localized and context-specific, reflecting the unique environmental conditions, cultural values, and socio-economic contexts of particular communities. It may vary even within different communities inhabiting the same region.f. Embedded Ethics and Values: TEK incorporates ethical principles and cultural values that guide human interactions with nature. These values often emphasize respect, reciprocity, and stewardship towards the environment and other living beings.g. Integration of Science and Tradition: TEK may incorporate elements of scientific knowledge that complement traditional understanding. Indigenous peoples often integrate new information and technologies into traditional practices while retaining core cultural values and beliefs.h. Long-term Perspective: TEK often encompasses knowledge accumulated over centuries or even millennia, providing insights into the long-term dynamics of ecosystems and human-environment interactions."These features underscore Traditional Ecological Knowledge’s richness, complexity, and resilience as a vital resource for sustainable development, biodiversity conservation, and cultural preservation."Read more (includes examples): <a href="https://sigmaearth.com/traditional-ecological-knowledge-tek-a-comprehensive-guide/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://sigmaearth.com/traditional-ecological-knowledge-tek-a-comprehensive-guide/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Resiliency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Resiliency</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Biodiversity</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CulturalPreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CulturalPreservation</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SustainableDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SustainableDevelopment</a>

BellingenNSWNative Knowledge: What Ecologists Are Learning from Indigenous People"One estimate says that while native peoples only comprise some 4 or 5 percent of the world’s population, they use almost a quarter of the world’s land surface and manage 11 percent of its forests. In doing so, they maintain 80 percent of the planet’s biodiversity in, or adjacent to, 85 percent of the world’s protected areas." >> <a href="https://e360.yale.edu/features/native-knowledge-what-ecologists-are-learning-from-indigenous-people" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://e360.yale.edu/features/native-knowledge-what-ecologists-are-learning-from-indigenous-people</a>Vertebrate biodiversity on indigenous-managed lands in Australia, Brazil, and Canada equals that in protected areas"Declines in global biodiversity due to land conversion and habitat loss are driving a ‘Sixth Mass Extinction’ and many countries fall short of meeting even nominal targets for land protection. We explored how such shortfalls in Australia, Brazil and Canada might be addressed by enhancing partnerships between Indigenous communities and other government agencies that recognize and reward the existing contributions of Indigenous-managed lands to global biodiversity conservation, and their potential contribution to meeting international treaty targets.""Many countries currently fall short of meeting targets to curb biodiversity loss. Indigenous-managed lands represent one avenue by which national targets can be met. Both Indigenous lands and conventional protected lands have high biodiversity. Indigenous-managed lands have equal-or-higher biodiversity than protected areas. Partnerships with Indigenous communities can ameliorate shortfalls in habitat protection for biodiversity conservation." >> <a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsci.2019.07.002" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsci.2019.07.002</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/IndigenousPeoples" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndigenousPeoples</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#conservation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/BiodiversityCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BiodiversityCrisis</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/SettlerSociety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SettlerSociety</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Australia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/degradation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#degradation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/extinction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#extinction</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/extractivism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#extractivism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/LoggingImpacts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LoggingImpacts</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/deforestation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deforestation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ClimateEmergency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateEmergency</a>
