• UNESCO LINKS: The Local and Indigenous Knowledge Systems programme

Sophisticated knowledge of the natural world is not confined to science. Societies from all parts of the world possess rich sets of experience, understanding and explanation. Local and indigenous knowledge refers to the understandings, skills and philosophies developed by societies with long histories of interaction with their natural surroundings.

The Local and Indigenous Knowledge Systems (LINKS) programme is a UNESCO interdisciplinary initiative that works:

• to secure an active and equitable role for local communities in resource management;
• to strengthen knowledge transmission across and within generations;
• to explore pathways to balance community-based knowledge with global knowledge in formal and non-formal education;
• to support the meaningful inclusion of local and indigenous knowledge in biodiversity conservation and management, and climate change assessment and adaptation
