O ovoj e-knjizi

Indigenous Science Today explores the integration of indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) with Western science, arguing that this collaboration is vital for addressing complex global challenges.
The book highlights the philosophical differences and practical applications of both systems, advocating for a synergistic relationship that respects cultural knowledge and promotes sustainable solutions.
It emphasizes that IKS is holistic, place-based, and intergenerational, contrasting with the often reductionist approach of Western science.
This integrated knowledge can be applied to environmental conservation and healthcare, offering innovative approaches that are both scientifically sound and culturally appropriate.

The book examines the historical context, including the impact of colonialism on indigenous communities and the marginalization of IKS.
It delves into ethical considerations such as intellectual property rights and the importance of collaborative research.
Case studies illustrate successful partnerships between indigenous communities and scientists, showcasing the potential for integrating IKS into ecosystem management, traditional medicine, and climate change adaptation.

The book progresses from foundational concepts of indigenous knowledge to practical applications and ethical challenges, concluding with recommendations for fostering respectful partnerships.
