Indigenous Knowledge and Sustainable Development
Indigenous Knowledge and Sustainable Development Mervyn Claxton Third Dation istingushed Lecture, The Cropper FoundUWI, St Aud Tobago gustine, Trinidad anSeptember 1, 2010 Page | 1 Biodiversity, Indigenous Knowledge , and Sustainable Development are very closely linked. The Indigenous Knowledge systems of the peoples of the South constitute the world largest reservoir of knowledege of the diverse species of plant and animal life on earth. For many centuries, their Indigenous agricultural systems have utilized practices and techniques which embody, what one scientist has called Principles of Permanence - principles that permit continuous cropping all year around without the use of chemicals which degrade the environment.
the indigenous peoples of Brazil utilised for that very purpose. That indigenous knowledge was, apparently, so considerable that the scientists took twenty-four years to collect and catalogue it. In 1847, more than two hundred years later, another European scientific expedition went to Brazil for the very same reasons.
