Indigenous and local peoples' (ILPs) role in cataloging life on Earth has been significant but underappreciated. ILPs knowledge faces growing cultural and biological threats. Greater participation by ILPs in research would make science more efficient, conservation more sustainable, and traditional knowledge stronger, but formidable obstacles remain.
本土和本地居民(ILPs)在地球上的生命编目中发挥了重要但未被充分重视的作用。ILPs 的知识面临着日益增长的文化和生物威胁。更多的 ILPs 参与研究将使科学更有效率、保护更可持续、传统知识更强大,但仍然存在巨大的障碍。
