Abstract

Traditional knowledge is an invaluable basis for developing adaptation and natural resource management strategies in response to environmental and other forms of change. Significance of indigenous traditional knowledge has been recognized for resilience to climate change. The biotic diversity in genetic and biochemical components has been harnessed to secure life-sustaining food and medicinal sources. Traditional knowledge is therefore indispensable for human well-being and provides all or a significant number of the remedies required in health care.
