| dc.description.abstract | According to WIPO, “Traditional knowledge (TK) is knowledge, know-how, skills and practices that are developed, sustained and passed on from generation to generation within a community, often forming part of its cultural or spiritual identity”. And according to UNESCO, “Traditional Knowledge refers to the knowledge, innovations and practices of indigenous and local communities embodying traditional lifestyles relevant for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity”. Traditional Knowledge is the knowledge that has been acquired over time by members of an indigenous community in one or more societies through experience and exposure to the local culture and environment. In the past, it has always been an easy and simple to reach gem, which is sensitive to theft. One is the biological resource itself and second for what you cannot own inherently such as traditional knowledge related to that. It is one of those that usually gets handed down orally from generation to generation. This knowledge has been influenced over time by innovations and practices from previous generations. | |
