Self-reporting by governments on IP&LC and TK contributions (IMAGE)
Caption
How Parties (i.e., ratifying countries) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) self-reported on the contribution of Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IP&LCs) and traditional knowledge and practices (TK) to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity in their sixth national reports (basemap source: ArcGIS 10.1 [ESRI, 2012] with World Countries Generalized).
The results show clear improvement. In the most recent reporting cycle, more than half of countries explicitly recognized that traditional knowledge and community-based practices support biodiversity conservation.
