This presentation provides an overview of recent studies that clearly portray the active role that rural communities in Africa and other parts of the world have played in (a) generating knowledge based on a sophisticated understanding of their environment, (b) devising mechanisms to conserve and sustain their natural resources, and (c) establishing community-based organizations that serve as forums for identifying problems and dealing with them through local-level experimentation, innovation, and exchange of information with other societies. Ehrlich, Paul R. and Edward O. Wilson 1991 Biodiversity Studies: Science and Policy. Of equal concern to many world citizens is the uncertain status of the indigenous knowledge that reflects many generations of experience and problem-solving by thousands of ethnic groups across the globe. Warren, David Brokensha, and L.Jan Slikkerveer, eds. 15-23. London: Intermediate Technology Publications. 1988 Selected Bibliography of Native Resource Management Systems and Native Knowledge of the Environment. A growing global network of regional and national indigenous knowledge resource centers is involved in documenting the historical and contemporary indigenous knowledge of numerous ethnic groups around the world. Biological Journal of the Linnean Society 39: 79-87. A parallel set of institutions documenting local knowledge about the environment is now being established, indigenous knowledge resource centers that could play a future role in in situ conservation.

Abramovitz, Janet N. 1991 Investing in Biological Diversity: U.S. Research and Conservation Efforts in Developing Countries. Washington, D.C.: The World Bank. "The lessons they have learned through millenia of accumulated experience and survival are invaluable to a modern world in much need of rediscovering its ecological and humanistic roots" (Posey 1985: 156). Streather, Angela 1991 Summary: International Workshop on Indigenous Knowledge and Community-Based Resource Management. Ibadan: International Institute of Tropical Agriculture and African Resource Centre for Indigenous Knowledge. Studies in Technology and Social Change No. UNESC0 Canada/Man and the Biosphere Program sponsored a workshop on Indigenous Knowledge and Community-Based Resource Management (Streather 1991), while the International Indigenous Commission has submitted a report on indigenous knowledge to the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in 1991. Pp. Two influential policy documents have recently been prepared by the U.S. National Research Council, one focused on the conservation of biodiversity, the other on sustainability issues in agriculture and natural resource management. Paper presented at the Panel on Traditional Ecological Knowledge, 2nd Annual Meeting of the Society for the Study of Common Property, 26-29 September, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg. Washington, D.C.: National Academy Press. 115-125. Polyculture is the norm in farming systems in Africa and other parts of the world, "a traditional strategy to promote diet diversity, income generation, production stability, minimization of risk, reduced insect and disease incidence, efficient use of labor, intensification of production with limited resources and maximization of returns under low levels of technology" (Altieri 1987: 73). Much of this knowledge is at as much risk of being lost as is the case with biodiversity (Linden 1991). INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE RES0URCE CENTERS BEING ESTABLISHED.

International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs, Fiolstraede 10, DK-1171 Copenhagen K, Denmark. G. W. von Liebenstein, Director; Nuffic/CIRAN, P.O. "Sustainable agriculture in all nations will require greater scientific respect for, and more effective collaboration with, those who possess the wisdom of generations of 'nonscientific' farming" (Haugerud and Collinson 1991: 14). Much of this information can be interpreted only by local scientists" (National Research Council 1992: 10). 27. 5. 1992 Ethnobotanical Knowledge Systems: A Resource for Meeting Rural Development Goals.

"To acquire a comprehensive base of knowledge for genetic resource conservation, the genetic establishment must accept a mandate to be concerned not only with germplasm but also the knowledge systems that produce it" (Brush 1989: 22).

Data, information and knowledge frequently overlap, mainly differing in abstraction. 86-101. Washington, D.C.: World Resources Institute. The World Bank held a seminar on the role of indigenous knowledge for agricultural development (Warren 1991). Very little of this knowledge has been recorded, yet it represents an immensely valuable data base that provides humankind with insights on how numerous communities have interacted with their changing environment including its floral and faunal resources.
