New fungal biotechnologies are advancing applied and conservation mycology to support global regenerative outcomes for natural and human systems. Here, we propose the Applied and Conservation Mycology Framework to align fungal biotechnology and Indigenous Knowledge Systems in support of planetary health, "the health of human civilization and the state of the natural systems it depends on." The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM-GBF) adopted at the 2022 United Nations Biodiversity Conference is humanity's best effort at reconciling the sustainable development of all societies and biodiversity loss while reaffirming the rights of Indigenous Peoples (IPs). Through Indigenous Data Sovereignty (IDSov) and Governance (IDGov), fungal biotechnologies could help address all 23 KM-GBF Targets. In this opinion paper, we apply Indigenous relational science and knowledge systems to explore how advancements in fungal biotechnology and digital technology enable Indigenous Peoples to develop, practice, and govern fungal biotechnologies for applied and conservation mycology. We focus on the Kara & Kichwa Nations, Indigenous Peoples of Ecuador, the Cultural Mountain of Andea, and the Cultural Rainforest of Amazonia. The ACMF centers on fungal biotechnological innovation by Indigenous Peoples and their participation in the global bioeconomy in the service of planetary health and all 23 KM-GBF Targets. We offer a starting point for envisioning future fungal technologies developed by Indigenous Peoples and in service of planetary health.
新的真菌生物技术正在推动应用真菌学和保护真菌学的发展，以支持自然和人类系统的全球再生成果。在此，我们提出应用真菌学和保护真菌学框架，以使真菌生物技术与本土知识体系相结合，以支持地球健康，即“人类文明的健康及其所依赖的自然系统的状态”。2022年联合国生物多样性大会通过的《昆明-蒙特利尔全球生物多样性框架》（KM-GBF）是人类为协调所有社会的可持续发展与生物多样性丧失，同时重申原住民权利所做出的最大努力。通过本土数据主权（IDSov）和治理（IDGov），真菌生物技术可以帮助实现KM-GBF的所有23个目标。在这篇观点论文中，我们应用本土关系科学和知识体系，探讨真菌生物技术和数字技术的进步如何使原住民能够开发、实践和管理用于应用真菌学和保护真菌学的真菌生物技术。我们关注厄瓜多尔的卡拉和基切民族、安第斯山脉的文化之山以及亚马逊地区的文化雨林。应用真菌学和保护真菌学框架以原住民的真菌生物技术创新及其参与全球生物经济为核心，服务于地球健康和KM-GBF的所有23个目标。我们为设想原住民开发并服务于地球健康的未来真菌技术提供了一个起点。
