Incorporación de sistemas de conocimientos locales y tradicionales: nuevos puntos de vista para los servicios ecosistémicos y las colaboraciones transdisciplinarias

This executive summary describes a transdisciplinary research project (2019–2022) funded with USD 199,605 to identify governance modalities that effectively incorporate local and traditional knowledge into biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services management. The project utilizes a mixed-methods action research approach across four case studies in Canada, Chile, Colombia, and Uruguay to address implementation gaps in National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs).

• The research aims to identify the specific conditions and participatory processes that allow governance modalities to emerge which can integrate local and traditional knowledge while managing diverse value systems and divergent interests.
• The project identifies three primary themes that act as either barriers or enablers for biodiversity conservation: plurality (defined as plural world-views), conflict, and power asymmetries.
• Analysis of the policy context across the case studies highlighted several key areas of interest, specifically the relationships with civil society, forms of state organization, and engagement with international organizations.
• To ensure the genuine inclusion of local knowledge keepers, the investigators developed strategies to protect vulnerable groups, activists, and Indigenous knowledge keepers from unauthorized disclosure within the project and institutional regulatory decisions.
• The research team completed seven Communities of Practice Collaboratories (CPCs) to facilitate a systematic study of transdisciplinary learning processes.
