Lawrence,
I really appreciate all the hopeful news articles you've been posting about
new research (e.g. worms that eat plastic) and traditional knowledge (e.g.
water well drills)
All the best,
Joan Huyser-Honig

Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) Resources
Traditional Ecological Knowledge (or TEK) refers to the evolving knowledge
acquired by indigenous and local peoples over hundreds or thousands of years
through direct contact with the environment. This knowledge is specific to a
location and includes the relationships between plants, animals, natural
phenomena, and the landscape that are used for lifeways, such as hunting,
fishing, trapping, agriculture, and forestry. TEK is an accumulating body of
knowledge, practice, and belief, that encompasses the world view of
indigenous people which includes ecology, spirituality, human and animal
relationships, and more. TEK has become increasingly recognized as being
valuable for natural resource management, including adaptation to climate
change. Below is a set of resources that were compiled for an LCC training
workshop on traditional ecological knowledge held in Sacramento, CA in
September 2014.
