Description
This course addresses emerging issues for Indigenous peoples regarding the use and exploitation of their knowledge and natural resources. It examines case studies where rights over knowledge and the stewardship of biodiversity have been threatened and examples where Indigenous peoples have been able to manage and protect their environment and associated knowledge.
