Traditional Ecological Knowledge
BioOne Vista | October 2024
Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), also called Indigenous Knowledge or Native Science, offers valuable insights into ecosystems, contributing to sustainable environmental solutions. Integrating TEK with scientific research gives us a more holistic understanding of nature, blending modern science with indigenous knowledge, and supporting a more effective, culturally respectful, and balanced approach to addressing environmental challenges.
This article collection proudly features peer-reviewed scientific research from BioOne Complete publishing partners, including the American Fern Journal, The International Forestry Review, The Journal of Raptor Research, The Journal of the Torrey Botanical Society, Pacific Science, Tropical Conservation Science, and more.
