Traditional Ecological Knowledge

Traditional ecological knowledge and natural resources are naturally protected as they know that it means different for different people. For economists, nature is often seen as a resource that can be transformed and prepared for human use. Another way of looking is that a human being is a housekeeper, care about nature and use nature's blessings. Another point of view is that the nature of animism, that nature is regarded as a living thing, is uncontrollable, worthy of respect. I believe that the Earth is a sacred place that you can call an animist in some Native Americans.

In recent years, many scholars have understood a lot of information such as traditional knowledge (TK), indigenous peoples knowledge (IK), traditional ecological knowledge (TEK). These knowledge systems are based on myriad generations based on personal and collective learning experiences and interpretation of the world, empirical learning verified, transmitted and led by elderly people, and verbal tradition and other record management measures It has been developed. Traditional knowledge is currently the source of information that archaeologists, ecologists, biologists, ethnic botanists, climatologists and others evaluate. This information varies from the value of the plant's medicinal effect and biodiversity to the movement pattern of reindeer to manage specific resources and intentional burning of landscape.

Several researchers, including ourselves, distinguish between local ecological knowledge (LEK) and traditional ecological knowledge; the former is "the current region that was recently acquired during an individual's lifetime "Refers to a subset of TEK meaning. Knowledge "(Gilchrist et al., 2005: 22). We have consciously studied the traditional ecological knowledge (TEK), especially since Inuit has used the long history of villi and we have short and long history of avian illness and death Since we are aiming to collect information gently, this research emphasizes direct observation and verbal tradition, and historical information from a few generations.

Traditional ecological knowledge (TEK): This term was created to emphasize the community's awareness of the natural environment in the 1980s, but from the cultural point of view the "traditional" knowledge was fixed in the past We treat it as an unchanging task and activity. change. However, it is not sufficient to limit the knowledge set owned by the community to the "ecological" point of view. It covers multiple scientific disciplines and empirical knowledge, practice and know-how, value system, lifestyle, and world view. (Nakajima and Rouhe, 2002)
