Abstract

“Traditional Knowledge” (TK) refers to the knowledge, insights, practices, abilities, skills, beliefs, worldviews, and perspectives passed down through generations by Indigenous and local communities and traditional societies. For specific natural places, “Traditional Ecological Knowledge” (TEK) encompasses local communities’ understanding of the environment and their methods for managing it to meet their needs while maintaining its dynamic equilibrium (Berkes, 2012). Therefore, TK and TEK are deeply embedded into the co-evolution of specific environments and their inhabitants, serving as a crucial asset for environmental stewardship and cultural preservation.
