  1. Hello Class.
  2. My name is Daisy Blue Diaz and I will be
  3. presenting on local ecological knowledge and the sustainability of diverse
  4. local life ways offer many opportunities to address sustainable development
  5. after. Mhm.
  6. Local ecological knowledge which is also known as traditional ecological
  7. knowledge. The definition of traditional ecological knowledge is deep knowledge
  8. of a place that has been painstakingly discovered by those
  9. who have adapted to it over thousands of years.
  10. Scientists have turned to indigenous knowledge because of climate change
  11. and alarming loss of biodiversity.
  12. Traditional ecological knowledge and global warming in the arctic.
  13. A warming climate is happening twice as fast than anywhere
  14. else in the globe.
  15. Indigenous people have seen the change and are experiencing drastic
  16. changes in hunting and fishing practices.
  17. Yeah. They also have noticed loss of biodiversity and note
  18. migration changes in reindeer populations.
  19. Yeah. Yeah it's not hard.
  20. Biodiversity can also be addressed by using traditional ecological knowledge.
  21. Researchers have found that indigenous Maya maintain a rich biodiversity
  22. in their forest garden.
  23. They can teach us to be more gentle in our
  24. environments while farming.
  25. These forest gardeners are heroes that their skill and sophistication
  26. have too long been set aside and devalued.
  27. A quote from annabelle ford, from esso american Research Center
  28. at the University of California at santa Barbara.
  29. Mhm. Here is a quote from the Hill newspaper, which
  30. states indigenous peoples observations about trends and patterns in the
  31. natural world as well as their insights on the connections
  32. between humans, Animals and ecosystems can help illuminate the changes
  33. that the planet is undergoing today and can complement the
  34. data gathered by Western scientists.
  35. Yeah, ocean habitats are beginning to change in Alaska.
  36. Indigenous hunters and elders have noted concerning changes in the
  37. in the movements and behaviors of marine life, such as
  38. unusual amounts of jellyfish populations, seals with sores and bald
  39. patches on their bodies and stinky walrus meat.
  40. Mhm. Yeah.
  41. In conclusion, indigenous peoples obtain their their own knowledge systems,
  42. which have proven to be scientifically advanced.
  43. It is important that climate scientists acknowledge traditional ecological knowledge
  44. because their knowledge systems will help address sustainability and climate
  45. change, indigenous people should have the right to perform their
  46. own climate research and have their findings be accounted for.
