Answer 1

The study's main result was that using indigenous knowledge in biodiversity assessment and monitoring is a less expensive way, and it promotes local populations to participate in resource management decisions, empowering them to take on sustainable management activities.

Cultural heritage has the potential to contribute significantly to long-term development. The vast bulk of the world's genetic resources are found in locations where most indigenous and local communities are located. For thousands of years, many of them have successfully fostered and utilized biological diversity.
