, QUESTION 1


a) Indigenous Knowledge
Indigenous knowledge refers to the understanding, skills, and philosophies developed
by indigenous peoples over generations. This knowledge is deeply rooted in the cultural,
spiritual, and historical contexts of specific communities. It encompasses a wide range
of areas, including agriculture, medicine, environmental management, and social
practices. Indigenous knowledge is often passed down orally and is characterized by its
connection to the land and local ecosystems.


b) Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS)
Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) are structured frameworks that encompass the
collective knowledge of indigenous communities. IKS includes the practices, beliefs,
and values that inform how these communities interact with their environment and
manage resources. It represents a holistic approach to understanding the world,
integrating spiritual, social, and ecological dimensions. IKS is crucial for sustainable
development, as it offers valuable insights into biodiversity conservation and resource
management.


c) Traditional Knowledge
Traditional knowledge refers to the long-standing practices, beliefs, and understandings
that are specific to a particular culture or community. It includes knowledge about local
customs, rituals, agricultural practices, and medicinal uses of plants. Unlike indigenous
knowledge, which is specific to indigenous peoples, traditional knowledge can also be
found in non-indigenous communities. It is often transmitted through generations and is
vital for maintaining cultural identity and heritage.


d) Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK)
Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) is a subset of traditional knowledge that
specifically focuses on the relationships between people and their environment. TEK
encompasses the understanding of ecosystems, species, and natural resource
